I'd interpret this to mean that the feature is welcome but its details 
are not?
If you want coloured text, it needs to remain HTML format (or RTF) as 
plain text is not coloured.

Which means putty also copies something formatted, either HTML or RTF, 
otherwise it wouldn't be coloured.

Uncoloured? It's the purpose of this feature to copy attributes through 
the clipboard and it works in all my tests.
Which application pastes it without colours?
The table is another thing, I acknowledge this can be disturbing. The 
purpose was an easy way to include an optional transparent image 
background in the clipboard. I'll tweak the HTML output to do without it 
by default, or maybe always if I can attach the image to a <div>.
