Vista Tutorial - Pasting Newsgroup Addressees In The Newsgroup Header Box Into New Message

In OE one can paste newsgroup addresses from one message into a new one.

But this does not seem to be possible in WLM.

Solution?

Thanks.

news:#L5LW2h3IHA.2524@xxxxxxDefine your terms please. What do you mean by
"newsgroup addresses"? Give an example of using one
in OE where you need to paste it.


One interpretation of "newsgroup addresses" would be
how one does cross-posting, which works the same way
in both OE and WLMail (no pasting required).
E.g. Alt-T,n,...

Was this done to stymie bots picking up addresses?

Solution?

Thanks.

In the headers above there are two newsgroup addresses.

In OE one can paste newsgroup addresses from one message into a new one.

But in WLM the addresses of a transmitted message are grayed-out.

Therefore they cannot be copied and pasted to a NEW message.

The same thing is true of email addresses.

Is there a solution to the cut and paste issue -- as pertains to addresses
in WLM?

Thanks...

Being grayed-out does not mean that they can't be copied.
I highlighted a newsgroup in the Reading pane and in a message window, Ctrl
+ C copied in both places. Right click, Copy did not work.
Ctrl + F3 opens the source of the email. Ctrl + C and right click, Copy
both worked there.

guest@xxxxxx-email.com;
This address was in another post. In the Reading pane, Right click, Copy
works. Ctrl + C copies the entire message.
Email addresses are highlighted by putting the mouse pointer over the
address. In the Reading pane, the highlight is very faint.
The above is true for emails.

Yes & No.
It should always work with Right click, Copy -- we are in a GUI World now.
Abstruse keystrokes are for wonks.

Right click, Copy works in some cases -- but not in others.

Whereas in OE I've never encountered a case where Right click, Copy doesn't
work for both email and newsgroup addresses.

That's a glitch in WLM.

[Then why did you crosspost it to OE6 newsgroup?]

I could ask, 'why did you'?
I thought that I had removed the OE newsgroup.

You're still not being clear enough for me.
"Above"? Where? In the OE Preview pane header?
I can't copy from there. In the WLMail Reading pane?
I have that pane's header suppressed because of the
ridiculous amount of screen space it takes up.
But in any case, for the same reason I wouldn't expect
to be able to copy anything from it either.

If I did want to access some headers from either the OE
Preview pane or the WLMail Reading pane I would press
Alt-Enter,Ctrl-Tab and do that. All data would be copyable
using standard Windows editing commands but not by dragging
with the mouse.

After pressing Ctrl-g to start composing this reply,
in either newsreader, the Newsgroups: field is an input field
and I can copy from it. The only problem I had with it was
trying to cancel a move by dragging, forgetting that I should
be pressing a Ctrl- key when doing that to make it a Copy operation.

Copying text selections by dragging with a mouse is something
I hardly ever do. In fact, I just tried to reproduce my problem
with it and couldn't; Ctrl-z undid the move operation and
converted it to a copy. Slick. Who knew? <w>


Seems to copy just fine from a Ctrl-g reply composition window
into a Ctrl-N New message window. The only problem I had was
that during the Copy there was no input cursor (e.g. I-bar),
so the copy operation always resulted in an append rather than
an insertion. Otherwise a Ctrl-c, Ctrl-v did use an input cursor
and could produce an insertion.
