I'm once in a while sending raw code to customers. Is there a tool which adds (inline) styles to code, so that it is easier to read for my customers? A tool which works for gmail and other web-based (html) email clients would be great, but I would be also ok with a thunderbird extension.

Although I'm still open to better suggestions, I've found some solutions myself.

  • the thunderbird extension pasteCode
  • If you're using vim, you can use :TOhtml, which will generate a coloured html-version of your code

I just came across this extension for chrome, firefox, and thunderbird, Markdown here:

http://markdown-here.com/

It gives markdown and latex support to writing emails in thunderbird or gmail in your browser. It also has support for syntax highlighting in a variety of languages. I tried it out with sending some Matlab code, and it worked really well!

I also tried pasteCode, but its not supported in the latest versions of thunderbird anymore.
