In dynamic view, when you highlight text in the message preview
window, then hit CTRL-C the highlighted text is not copied to the
buffer when using Firefox (latest version).

I can't reproduce on text messages. I can reproduce on HTML messages.
But sounds like a browser limitation to me (Ctrl-C is not allowed
inside an IFRAME).

You are correct. When I use firefox, if the message is a text
message, it does cut/paste properly. HTML messages don't. However,
based on what you said, where CTRL-C is not supported inside and
iframe, then why does it work fine in IE for both text and html
message and in firefox for at least text message?

Thanks for the clarification.

HTML messages are displayed in an IFRAME, for both security and
presentation purposes (the HTML message should be displayed via the
formatting contained in the message, not any Horde/IMP display
formatting).

Plaintext messages are not displayed in an IFRAME - they contain no
formatting data and present no security hazard.

As far as IE vs. FF... it sounds like IE is capturing these actions
within an IFRAME and FF isn't. I don't know if this is a "feature" or
bug of FF. I don't have much time to look at this at present, so any
help in determining this would be appreciated.
