Not having experienced this I don't want to overreact but ...

Are you saying that in Freemantle there is no easy way to select and copy text 
out of an email to copy into somewhere else?  E.g. copying a phone number or 
address into a contact, copying an email address from a forwarded email into 
the destination of another email, copying a portion of a URL (the base URL 
without all the tracking junk included) into a web browser, copying the 
directions for a meeting into a separate email, copying some text and a 
picture from one email into another?

Please tell me that these are all supported design goals for the Freemantle 
GUI.  Have I just misunderstood this thread?
