The right click paste function works with Hotmail using Firefox,but still won't work with Yahoo. I have discovered that if I copy a text and then goto Yahoo mail and use "ctrl v" on the keyboard the text is inserted in the mail.Still would like to get the right click function back though.

Bring up yahoo mail. OPTIONS>GENERAL PREFERENCES AND THEN SELECT THE BUTTON "COMPOSE MESSAGES AS PLAIN TEXT". Then click save. This will give you your cut n paste back. You will be able to send live links but not pictures.Hope this helps anybody else who might have the same problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tictoc5150 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Thanks for posting the work-around, tmanThis issue came up when someone asked me how to fix it and I hadn't even noticed the problem on my own machine since I already use keyboard shortcuts to C&P (mine being, shift+insert)...I don't think I could go to the r-click C&P now if I tried but it might help the person that originally asked me to solve their problem.

tman70 Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 You all are welcome. Glad I could help. I can send pictures as attachments, so I don't know what they mean when they say you can't send pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
