Dave,
On 2 conditions:
1) Your mail comes into Pine as Attachments:
Parts/attachments:
1 OK ~18 lines Text
2 ~38 lines Text
----------------------------------------
[Part 1, Text/PLAIN 18 lines]
[Not Shown. Use the "V" command to view or save this part]
[Part 2, Text/HTML 38 lines]
[Cannot display this part. Press "V" then "S" to save in a file]
These types of mail usually get the old D key.
2) Please hit a Enter or <cr> every 70 - 75 characters.
Now, to the meat of the question,
To paste with a 2 button mouse, click Both Buttons at the same
time. This is called "3 button emulation". Or, go grab a cheapie
3 button mouse and use the middle button for pasting.
Got my Addison 3 button for US$5 and works on W95 also.
There is more info in "man xterm" and various other places.
Have fun,
Rick
