If you want to post pictures, you'll need a web hosting service like http://www.photobucket.com to upload it from your puter and post it.

If it's a media file, you'll need to upload it from your puter to http://www.putfile.com

If it's just words, do what chewy said.

Have you actually selected the text in the e-mail by dragging over it and then right clicking and selecting copy?

I sure don't know much but Thanks to Jonny and Svenn, I learned to cut and paste items.

I don't copy entire emails, just what I want to use. It works for me. Just drop it in. Mel is right about images.

Some forwards are designed so you cannot copy paste the contents without a bit of work. That is because they want you to forward them and collect more email addresses for the spammers.

As for being insulted, you have to remember there are a lot of computer users that cannot copy paste, mostly because they don't know what right click means.

I for one, would never call you a Yankee fan unless you knew how to format a hard drive for 5 different OS's and write a simple shell script;;D
When I copy paste I usually use left click highlight, and middle click paste.
