Why can't I right-click "Paste" or "Cut" in Gmail and Yahoo! mail?

[Joe Jorgenson]

I have FF 1.5.0.4 and Windows XP Home. When I go to compose an email in
Gmail or Yahoo, the "cut" and "paste" commands don't appear when I hit
right-click in the text area.

If I change the formatting to plain text, it works fine, but I'd rather use
the rich text format. This isn't a problem in IE.


Thanks.

Joe,
Use the keyboard
ctrl +v (paste)
ctrl +c (copy)
and so on

Have a look at this:

Similar problem to what you describe but meant for fastmail.fm users.
