Just wondering is it possible to copy text from ingame email to an external application such as WordPad?

Cant copy text in an ingame email sadly.  All you can do is either re-type it or screenshot the email

MXO uses a Franklin Gothic typeface for the most part. Should be able to screen shot an email and use text recognition software to extract the contents.

I thought ctrl-home worked for MxO text copying?

Yeah, ctrl-insert for pasting and ctrl-home for copying.

Lets get technical SMILEY

The answer to the question can you copy text when using e-mails? YES

The reason it cant be done is we lack a method of highlighting text like you can in the chat window. SMILEY Without the ability to highlight its unfortunatly uselss, although possible if you figured out (or it was implimented) how.
