You can send two types of diagrams with CA. You can send them as Ascii art like
this:
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
8 | R*| | | | | R*| K*| |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
7 | P*| | P*| B*| Q*| P*| P*| P*|
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
6 | | | N*| | | N*| | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ White to play and win
5 | | B | | | | | | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
4 | | | | | | | | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
3 | | | N | | P | N | | |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
2 | P | P | Q | | | | P | P |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
1 | | | K | R | | | | R |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
a b c d e f g h
or as a bitmap picture. In either case, right click on the board and select
Clipboard --> Export Ascii or Clipboard --> Export bitmap. The Export bitmap
with markers is in case there are arrows or other colored commentary you'd like
in the diagram as well. Then go to the message body and paste it (Ctrl-V or
Shift-Ins). Please note that the size of the diagram, the pieces, and even the
presence of the border (with coordinates) depend on what you have displayed. So
if you wanted a small bitmap with no border, and the board inverted, you'd first
set that display in CA and then export it.
Note that you can also export the score in PGN with the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl
- ">". If you want the game only starting from a certain move, place the cursor
on the starting move and hit the shortcut (on my keyboard I can only get the ">"
using the shift key).
