Re: Re[7]: XCmail: Subject styles [Reply]

[jbb]

Dear Jurgen,

    After waking refreshed this morning I tried to cut a line from an
e-mail in the xc-mail window and paste it into a new document in nedit.
The paste feature did NOT work. The presentation was not as bad as with
Opera; at least the `paste' selection was present. With Opera all the
selections for the cut and paste feature are shaded, or not available
for selection though shown in subdued tone. With nedit the paste
selection was present in bold type but did not work.

    Does that give you a clue? The motif is openmotif-2.2.2 and the
nedit is 5.3RC1, or at least that's what ReleaseNotes announces. The
rest is a box stock Red Hat-7.1 installation except for Linux-2.4.20.

    Shalom,

    John B. Brown.
