I think he meat for received messages which I think is impossible on Xperia. I tried to select reply and forward to see if the received message can get into some type of editable text box so it can be copied. No luck as the received messages gets into a Quote Text box that is disabled for editing.

Wondering if Android 1.6 allows Copy only from editable text boxes and web pages.

you appear to be able to do "long press" and get options in SMS and MMS
but not in e-mails (at least my AOL and GMail you can't)
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
