You did not provided any detail which email client and which OS you are
using. I do not know how it is implemented on Windows, but on Linux
applications declares several MIME types for selection: UTF8_STRING,
text/html, etc. Applications that can insert formatted text use HTML,
pure text application query plain text. To inspect available types the
following command may be used:
xclip -target TARGETS -out -selection CLIPBOARD
AFAIK emacs can not provide several types for selection content and
xclip does not have such feature as well. When you are sure that namely
formatted text is required, you can try to feed markup to xclip -target
text/html.
I do not think that Org is appropriate tool for your purpose, escaping
is tricky, zero-width spaces when used in such case should be removed
from the target document. Constructing org-element AST directly may be
more reliable.
Within Emacs yank-handler text property may help to copy text from your
specific encoding to other buffers.
