Just to add my 2 penneth to this. I've just been through no end of difficulties trying to copy and paste text from a Thunderbrird message to a new message. Sometimes F8 simply didn't seem to work, sometimes I got a ding and sometimes it did seem to work, but when I came to paste the text the previous text I had selected got pasted instead. This led to a rather comic incident where the contents of an email ended up in severl 2 fields leeding to, I think 4 WE crashes. Am I the first to crash WE9 and send error reports? Smile. I'm not against F8, but it doesn't seem to be working terribly well in Thunderbird messages. Yusuf

Most display messages in browse mode and compose in an edit box or an equivalent in this case. Therefore, selecting and copying text in a message you're reading and one you're writing involve two completely different methods in two windows of the same program. So now we have to select one way on the net, in CHM files, and in email messages, and another everywhere else on our system.
