for the good time Jerry’s ramblings…

One constant source of annoyance to me when typing an email in outlook is when outlook irreversibly mangles the formatting of my message when I paste something from another email or document. To make the problem even more irritating is the fact that Outlook doesn’t give me the option to “paste special” and just insert unformatted text.

In order to work around this, I would usually paste the text first in gvim and then copy and paste from there.

I accidentally stumbled on a tool, puretext, to save that middle step for me, and I love it, shaving seconds off of each work day and minutes off my year with a simple windows start + V keystroke!

Thanks Steve Miller!
