It's definitely a Windows thing.  Most Windows uses don't even
understand the concept of plain text vs. a bitmap picture of some text
being displayed by an app.

Just be glad that they're using a screen capture utilitly and not 
taking a picture of thier screen with their phone.  [Yes, I've dealt
with problem reports from customers where that's what they send.]
