Re: Copying and pasting in Mail

[Teresa Cochran]

You can use the commands for selecting text while in a message, 
(option-shift-arrows for words, command-shift-arrows for larger chunks of 
text), press command-c, navigate to another message, and use command-v to 
paste. I've been doing this in the preview pane. You can press command-1 while 
inside an open message to switch to the message list and then paste into a new 
message.

Copying and pasting in Mail

[Michael Busboom]

Hello listers,

I've had so much success getting helpful information from this list that I 
couldn't resist asking a couple more questions.  :)

For reasons I do not understand, I am unable to copy information from one 
message in Mail and paste it into another message I am currently creating.  The 
way I get around the problem is to open an empty document and copy and paste 
from one message to another by using the empty document as an interim storage 
medium.  However, I can't help thinking that there is an easier way.

Do I need to stop interacting with text or do something else to make copying 
and pasting work in Mail?  I am using Command-C and Command-V for copying and 
pasting respectively.  I know that material has been selected, so this is not 
where the problem lies.

2.  Is there any way in Mail to turn of the "Data Detector Present" message?

Thanks so much,

Mike
