Maybe I'm not describing it correctly. I use the control shift
right arrow to select a word in the text of a link. Then control C
to copy it. Then I come over to the edit field of this email and
paste it with control V. The word then shows up in the email as a
link. This can also happen in Libreoffice. As a test, I just
copied text from the Gnome Orca site from a web search and pasted
it below. It shows it as a heading and a link, so I guess it is
copying the html code along with the text.
I don't seem to be able to get rid of the html code and copy
only the text.Welcome to Orca
