| | Ctrl-C does not copy I am a very proficient PC user and prefer keyboarding over mousing. It is driving me crazy that ctrl-c does not work in an open email. To me, a well-designed app should allow someone to completely operate with a keyboard without touching a mouse. |

You could give some specific examples rather than make blanket statements which can be easily refuted. ; } FWIW this is a problem in OE in some areas so I wouldn't be surprised if there would be a similar issue in WLMail. The workaround is to use the Menu key plus C instead. In fact, I got burnt often enough with OE that I think I probably use Menu,C more often than Ctrl-c even in situations where it may not be required. Quote: > To me, a well-designed app should allow someone to completely operate with a keyboard > without touching a mouse. Agreed. WLMail still has a way to go in this area even to catch up with OE which itself is deficient in a number of specific cases but is in general more keyboard friendly than WLMail.
