Users copy and paste full web pages in an email and click the "send" button

Yes, but HOPEFULLY that ends up copying and pasting something harmless like
just the body text or an image of the page.
Fun fact: with recent MacOS MS Word, if you copy a block of formatted text
and paste it into a new message in the MailMate MUA, you get an embedded PNG

copy the text and do useful things with it.
