how do I copy and paste the text of an email I have received?

Question

I am trying to report abuse to google mail about spam i have received. They want me to paste the body of the text of the email I received and headers. I don't know how to do these two things.
Can anyone help please?

Answer 1

If using windows, click in the email and drag the mouse to highlight the text. Then right-click and select copy, then go to another program and right click - paste. The short cuts using the keyboard are Control + C for copy and Control + V for paste.

Some email applications have a file menu which will have an export feature. You could probably export it as HTML or text.

Good luck.

1. First, you'll need to select the text you wish to copy. You do this by putting your mouse cursor at the first character you want to copy and, holding down the left mouse button, drag the cursor to the last character you need copied. As you drag, you'll notice everything gets highlighted (selected).

2. Next, right-click the selected area. Choose Copy from the menu that pops up (or you can use CTRL-C if you like keyboard shortcuts).

3. Finally, right-click the area in your e-mail document where you would like to insert the word processor text. Click Paste from the menu that pops up (For this, CTRL-V is your keyboard shortcut).

That's it. The steps are basically the same for any copy & paste procedure you need to do.

TO report spam , just click the mail you want to report spam , then simply click the 'Spam' tab which is just above the mails.

TO copy the contents of a mail, select all the contents of mail by holding the left button of mouse until the all contents are selected.
Now press "+" on keyboard or right click on the selected area & click 'copy'. Now to paste at appropriate place, click on that area & press "+" or right click on mouse &click 'paste'.
