As an EN premium user since day one, I agree that this is a disgrace. Anyway, I found the instructions for the textedit hack that someone mentioned in this thread a few years ago (in case anyone else wants to try it). Works well, I just tested it. Maintains formatting, embedded images, etc. If you want to try it, Open the system preferences and go to the Keyboard pane. Then click on the Keyboard Shortcuts tab and click on Services in the sidebar. Find "New TextEdit Window Containing Selection" in the list under the text category and assign it a shortcut. (Click on it near the right end of the blue selection.) Source: http://www.mac-forums.com/switcher-hangout/215139-shortcut-textedit-document.html
