Thanks for the suggestions. However, the reason why I'm copying and pasting is because I want to work with the text, either to email it to someone else or to put it in my LiveJournal etc. So saving the selected text as an audio file would do no good, but I'll keep that in mind for other projects. Also, I'm still stuck with the weird behaviour of Safari when I try to copy/paste my lj stuff to Text Edit. Fortunately, I haven't seen this with too many sites, so maybe, it won't be that big of a deal. I'm going to see if I can properly save these pages and maybe that'll solve the problem. As for Mac Mail, I got my account set up. It downloaded all of my messages, so I have to delete them from the client. However, if I don't delete them from the server, they'll keep coming back when I check for new mail. Also, how do I quickly get to the top and bottom of the list? There are alot of things that I'd like to delete or I might just want to quickly get to the newest mail and not have to go through all the other messages. Also, will it still thread things as does GMail or will I get tons of individual messages for one topic as I used to do with other services? Thanks to all of you for your kindness and patience.
