I know how to highlight and copy text inside the web browser but how do you highlight text inside the email client? Even when I open a message to reply, I can type but cannot hightlight text.

if you open the message to reply then you can move around using the cursor keys. to select press shift and use the arrow keys to mark the text. press control+c in the end to copy.
it's still a bad way to do it, but at least it works. i tried directly from the email body but it doesn't seem to work...

Why is this still an issue? I thought this would have been fixed in PR1.2. It's a joke that you can't do such as simple thing in such a core part of software!

If people bothered to use the damn search button they would have realized this isnt an issue in 1.2. To select the text in an email hold down shift and use the arrow keys to select the text you want.

I did in fact search, but it only brought me here. I'm used to things not working. Next time I will search harder

Wait, I think we have a misunderstanding. I am looking in fact for draggable highlighting from with Reply/forward/compose. So i can drag over a portion of text in an email I'm writing and bold it, for example.
Thanks in advanced
