Hi Linda, I run JHS in Safari and copy and paste into my Mac's Mail app. I don't run in rich text on my Mail app, but that is about the only difference I see in our workflow (other than our hardware) Also the results that I put into the Mail app don't look as good to me as they do in JHS (especially boxed results), but they are close enough to be readable.
