It is indeed, but with a few hiccups:
1) boldface and emphasized font variations do not get copied at all (text gets
copied as normal plain text only)
2) bullet points and numbered lists *seem* to be copied correctly, but soon you
realize that the bullet point is actually a bullet char, and the numbers in the
numbered list are actually numbers in the text, namely, thunderbird doesn't
understand it's actually editing lists in those cases
3) I get an extra carriage-return between any paragraphs, causing an extra
empty line being inserted between any two LyX paragraphs -- is that only me ?
And the same exact thing happens if I paste into LibreOffice.
So, a couple of extra questions:
a) when you copy LyX text, is there any way to get (also?) the exported HTML
into the clipboard ?
b) would we need a special "copy as HTML" for that?
I personally understand the value of being able to seamlessly copy and paste
between LyX, Thunderbird and LibreOffice, at least for basic rich text
capabilities.
Thanks,
T.
