I have Windows XP SP2 updated with Windows Update to to-day.

OE6 (6.00.2900.2180 (xpxp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158) is my default for email.

I just finished a complete reformat and reinstall of Windows XP Professional
and then reloaded my programmes. I was redoing my "Message Rules" for
filtering my emails into folders and found that wher copy and pasting used
to work for putting in addresses in the dialogue boxes, it no longer does.
Where a right click of the mouse shows a menu it is greyed out. Ctrl + v
merely prints a "v".

Is this incurable?

Robert
