There's a bug in bugzilla about this (40320). The problem is that the mail display code puts a <table> around the body of the email to create a margin, and if you select the entire body of the mail, GtkHTML selects the surrounding <table> too. So when you paste it into the composer, you're pasting an HTML blob in which all of the text is contained in a single top-level table (which you can't edit properly because you're in plain text mode). An easier workaround than the paste-into-gedit one is to just not copy the entire message. Select all but the last character, copy, paste, and add that last character back in by hand. -- Dan _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
