Hi,
I feel this is a bug, since there is no way to copy the entire contents of a message by selecting all, as there is no "Select All" or "Copy All" option available. 

The only way to copy the entire message is to manually select the message contents using mouse, from top to bottom.

Even when the focus is in the Message window, Ctrl+A always selects list of messages and not the contents of the current message. This should be fixed to select the message contents.

Thanks a lot...

Menu->Edit->Select_All_Text

I don't see that option in the Toolbar Edit-Menu.

I figured out that it comes in the context menu (right click menu) of the message window, but only after some text is already selected. Otherwise it doesn't come. This is a little confusing for a new user.

I think that option should be shown irrespective of whether some text is selected or not !

Thanks a lot...
