I noticed that the functionality I wanted is almost already there except for printing the hex data.
It is possible to configure the file where to print packet in Preferences/Printing... and then specify Format: (x) Plain text and Print to: (x) File.
So I just configured the file path to be a file on my Windows desktop.
The "File/Print frame" menu item will then print the packet to that file and it's easy to copy it to a mail.
So it's just adding a possibility to also print the hex data I would want (another preference setting) and maybe also a possibility to configure whether to append or overwrite if there already is a file with that name.
