This would be huge. Outlook 2010 has an Insert > Screenshot feature that easily beats Gmail in convenience.

I've used ScreenHunter for a while and it has performed nicely--you can capture a selection or an active window w/ a keyboard shortcut:

We just recently upgraded to Office '07, so I'm guessing I'll have to wait another 3 years or so for the Office 2010...

I've using alt-printScreen then ctrl-v to do this for years. Does insert screenshot do something differently?

"Insert > Screenshot" minimizes the Outlook window, lets you select a rectangular area to include in your screenshot (not necessarily the whole screen), and then automatically pastes that screenshot into your message.

Also, if you have OneNote running, at any time you can hit Windows+S to clip an area of your screen and copy to your clipboard. I use it all the time.

Wow, that sounds nice. Easy screenshots makes the quality of bug reports go up so much.
