Notepad addition...

Hello everyone,

Over the years I have grown to really love the functionality of the notepad in game. CCP Karkur has done an excellent job in not only maintaining it, but adding lots of functionality to it to make our daily use that much more easy. I have an idea that will continue in that tradition.

What I would like to see added to the right click menu on the notes is a "send message".

Right now after you create a note, you have
* rename note
* delete note

and I would like to see

* send note (send message)

The reason for this is straight forward.

I have learned over the years that things like ship fits and many other things that can help other Eve players I have created into notes. It would be awesome to be able to just take one of those notes and send it to the person with all the formatting that I have put into that note for them to use.

In the notes you can create links to the items, corporations, people, just about everything! But when you copy and paste that into an Eve Mail all that formatting is lost.

Being able to send it the way it is intended would save everyone a ton of time and make it that much more functional for everyone.

Just a thought for today, take care and see you in the game :-)

Can't you maintain the formatting by placing a period at the top and hitting Shift+Enter?
Thats what i did with all my fancy fleet adverts from when i was an FC and they maintained formatting just fine even going into strange dimension chat boxes.

Not to say i don't like the idea, no reason not to make notes like these tradeable like bookmarks, though i would propose shift+Drag from notepad to hanger over right clicking
