[OS X TeX] Mathematics in e-mail

[Claus Gerhardt]

The easiest way - apart from an attachment - seems to be to open the 
pdf file in TeXShop, select the particular piece of text including 
equations, and copy it. Then, if you are using Apple Mail, you can 
paste it into your email, i.e., you are copying a perfectly cropped pdf 
image and use it as an integral part of your message.

If the requirements of this list were different, you could see a sample.
