Suppose you've received an e-mail that you want to forward, but you only want to send some of the text. Here's how to do it: Highlight the text you want to forward by placing your cursor at the beginning of the text. Hold down the left mouse key and drag the cursor over the text. Copy the text by selecting Copy from the Edit menu. Open a new message window by clicking on the icon on the toolbar. Address the new message, then place your cursor in the message window. Paste the text by selecting Paste from the Edit menu. That's it! Now you can send a cleaned-up message.
