Do you means there isn't an X or desktop environment level utility?
What if I want to paste the content of a file in other places, i.e. fill
a textarea in web browser?
In my cygwin time, the command "cat myfile > /dev/clipboard" was quite
handy. I hadn't expected that I am missing a windows function when I am
under Linux, ever.
P.S. It seems Thunderbird doesn't provide this kind of function except
using attachment. :(

I'm usually annoyed by IDEs because, for instance, they don't use VIM
as an editor. Since I'm hooked to that, all IDEs I've used so far have
failed to impress me.
