Copy and paste between Balsa windows?

[Andrew Conkling <andrewski fr st>]

Hi list,
I've had a few spots of trouble with copying and pasting in Balsa or from  
Balsa to another program.  It seems that I have to keep a window open for  
as long as I want to utilise some text therein.  For example, if I want to  
copy a link from a message to my browser, I have to keep the message window  
open--no matter if I do the select/middle-click paste or the Gnome Ctrl+C/ 
Ctrl+V paste--until I'm through with the information.

From other GTK+ programs, I've come to expect that copying from a child  
window (not sure if I have the appropriate lingo here) is fine as long as  
the parent window is still open.  Thusly, I should be able to copy from a  
message window as long as the main Balsa window is still open.

Am I wrong in my assessment?

Thanks,
Andrew Conkling
