Automatically Add Border to Image

I had an idea for an app to automatically add a border to clipboard images. You see I frequently need to take screenshots and paste them into an e-mail, the problem I encounter is the whitespace in the screenshot blends into the e-mail background - so I have to manually add a border in Outlook, which is very tedious. AutoBorder aims to automate this process by watching for common screenshot keys and mouse positions, then taking the clipboard, adding a border to it, then replacing the clipboard image with the border image. This process actually works pretty slick and is relatively simplistic.
