Good idea if pasting into a stack, but I want to paste it into other apps
such as an Eudora email, Word, etc. A 100k JPG can balloon to 400k PNG
when pasted from the clipboard into an email message...such an increase
is dramatic, especially if using a dial-up.

Thanks for the suggestion though...

I can set the fileType to JPG  - write to a file - perhaps I can dig 
up an applescript
which will then put that JPG onto the clipboard and then I delete JPG 
file I made...
a bit complicated though.
