IMHO he his quite right. I can hardly think of any application that
displays selectable text, i.e. changes the cursor from an arrow to a
text-cursor, where it is not the way that right-clicking a selection offers
the user a copy menu-item. Some apps even distiguish between a context-menu
for selected text and normal right-click without selection. Knode offers a
copy item and knode displays emails, mozilla does, evolution does...
Is it really that much of a problem to add the menu-item if the user has
selected some text? The simple fact that most, if not all other email apps
offer this functionality shows that there might be some sense behind this. If
it is a space probblem I would rather remove fixed-font width and
source-view, as they are of hardly any use to normal users and if you think
that copy does not have to be in there because you can access it faster by
CTRL+C you should consider that the two items mentioned can be accessed even
faster, as there is no need to hit CTRL, so there is even less reason to put
them in there.
