Vista emails and MS Publisher

[housetrained]

Help. When I copy the contents of a mail (.eml) message to the clipboard, it
will paste into all the other Office programmes but NOT into Publisher.
Anyone out there know the answer? Meanwhile I have to paste into Word, then
copy and paste into Publisher. Incidentally, this never happened with XP.
TIA

Did you try using CTRL-V to paste?

Thanks, but it makes no difference. This has come to light: Only emails from
one individual are affected and only some of them. e.g. On most of them,
when I copy and paste the WHOLE email including the AVG test thingy at the
bottom, only the AVG bit comes out OK. Other emails sent by him are all OK.
All other peoples' emails work OK.
This man sends articles to my wife for inclusion in a magazine and he is the
main contributor. I shall ask him how he gets the articles into the body of
his emails as ones that he has obviously typed himself are all OK. A
mystery, but at least it seems that this computer is 'normal'.

Unless you need the formatting try going to Tools | Options | Read and
choose to read the messages in plain text only. That should let you copy
the text. You can also do a CTRL-F2 on the open message and that will
display the HTML which you can copy.

You might tell him to just send the stuff as an attachment also instead of
in the email body.
