You knew about, heck I submitted it. I guess it is more of a spring hint than late winter, per se.

Here is the response from RobG;

If you send a webpage to email (command-I) in Safari you can delete certain HTML elements from the draft email in Mail.app.


Just click on the element, e.g. the title bar, it will be highlighted by a black box with an X at the upper corner. Click the X and that element will be removed from the email. It does not appear you can select an element and then cut it from the page and place it in a new email.

I find this quite handy when I want to email just the contents of a story and do not want to include all the ads, sidebars, etc..

Since the "x" shows up when you simply hover over elements, this isn't really a hidden hint per se...
