How do you try to copy/paste? I find it only works when I explicitly use 'edit->copy' and 'edit->paste'. Or CTRL-C and CTRL-V. In other words, just like in MS Windows. Selecting text and then pasting using the middle mouse button doesn't work. It seems these are two different clipboards. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
