It should always work with Right click, Copy -- we are in a GUI World now. Abstruse keystrokes are for wonks. Right click, Copy works in some cases -- but not in others. Whereas in OE I've never encountered a case where Right click, Copy doesn't work for both email and newsgroup addresses. That's a glitch in WLM. -- DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Vires et Honor

You're still not being clear enough for me. "Above"? Where? In the OE Preview pane header? I can't copy from there. In the WLMail Reading pane? I have that pane's header suppressed because of the ridiculous amount of screen space it takes up. But in any case, for the same reason I wouldn't expect to be able to copy anything from it either. If I did want to access some headers from either the OE Preview pane or the WLMail Reading pane I would press Alt-Enter,Ctrl-Tab and do that. All data would be copyable using standard Windows editing commands but not by dragging with the mouse. After pressing Ctrl-g to start composing this reply, in either newsreader, the Newsgroups: field is an input field and I can copy from it. The only problem I had with it was trying to cancel a move by dragging, forgetting that I should be pressing a Ctrl- key when doing that to make it a Copy operation. Copying text selections by dragging with a mouse is something I hardly ever do. In fact, I just tried to reproduce my problem with it and couldn't; Ctrl-z undid the move operation and converted it to a copy. Slick.

Seems to copy just fine from a Ctrl-g reply composition window into a Ctrl-N New message window. The only problem I had was that during the Copy there was no input cursor (e.g. I-bar), so the copy operation always resulted in an append rather than an insertion. Otherwise a Ctrl-c, Ctrl-v did use an input cursor and could produce an insertion. > > The same thing is true of email addresses. > > Is there a solution to the cut and paste issue -- as pertains to addresses > in WLM? > > Thanks... > > DSH HTH Robert ---

Where? In the OE Preview pane header? No. In the **Newsgroups** line of the header. See above -- if you have a Newsgroups Line -- ALL Headers not required or desired. [No, I'm not shouting at you -- just emphasizing -- as I would vocally.] In OE I can simply sweep across the names of the newsgroups with the left button of the mouse depressed -- in YOUR open message ---- thereby HIGHLIGHTING them and then RIGHT COPY with the mouse and PASTE wherever I choose. I can't do that in WLM. CAPABILITY LOST in a supposed UPGRADE to WLM. UNSAT. > Copying text selections by dragging with a mouse is something > I hardly ever do. Au contraire, I do it all the time. It's much quicker and more flexible than trying to fumble through arcane keystrokes. PLUS I can sit further away from the screen with a libation and/or young lovely cuddled in the other hand from the plastic MOUSE. This is 2008 -- not 1974. We use the MOUSE with GUI's not ancient keystrokes -- and could quite easily in the late, lamented Outlook Express. Oh Those Halcyon Days With A Superb Piece Of Software -- OUTLOOK EXPRESS. I understand some VERY TALENTED people DEVELOPED it. WLM is a pale imitation and needs a rewrite. Let's hope we get it in SP1 -- and don't have to wait for SP2.
