There is a way to copy & paste in hotmail....

Highlight the bit you want to copy then press ctrl and c on your keyboard...this copy's the text.

To paste use ctrl and v

this works on all text not just in hotmail :thumbright:

I've not used hotmail for a very long time but isn't there icons on the New Message page to do the paste.

Your best bet may be to use an Email tool that can read your account. Incredimail is free and relatively easy to use.

I don't use hotmail very often, more for the messenger side of thing, as most of my email comes into outlook!

They used to have icons for cut, copy, paste... but after an update they disappeared!

Or you can highlight what you want to copy, click edit, then click copy, then click where you want to paste to, then click edit, then click paste!!

If your looking to copy and paste the whole email IE: sender information- and link, you need to go under your tools in your hotmail account and change the configs then it will work.
