Increasingly I get HTML formatted emails that do not have a text version. It is
very difficult to copy text from an HTML email in PowerMail.
The normal click, hold, and drag the cursor does not work to select HTML text.
I can usually double-click and select one word, or triple-click and select a
line. Very occasionally I seem to be able to select a paragraph. This makes it
very hard to copy info from an HTML message.
My workaround is to open the email in my web browser, which then always lets me
select text as I want, but this is not very user friendly.
Is there any better way to select HTML text in PowerMail?
Thanks.

Yes, this is a hard to fix bug related to the use of WebKit in a Carbon
PowerPlant application. It is usually possible to double-click on the first
word to select, then shift-click on the last one. When this does not work, view
the message in your web browser.
