Hi Kay,

It is rather rare that I try to copy scripts and paste them on mails, so I didn't care for a solution. I can live without - as long as I do not post bugs ;o).

After reading your post this morning, I  checked the process just after opening Rev... and it works OK !
When I tried yesterday, I was editing and testing scripts for some hours, using relatively large amounts of memory (12 megapixel images). I didn't copy or paste them, however.
I try to answer your questions as far as I remember:

Mac OS 10.6.2  -  Apple's Mail - Rev Enterprise

Not sure - I probably used the shortcut. "Paste" was dimmed in Mail. But not in TextEdit (see below) !

Yes, I tried after sending my last mail - scripts pasted in TextEdit without problems, either in txt or in RTF.
It seems it was something not recognized by Mail in the clipboard...
I didn't check other programs.
Last precision: the default format for my Mail is set to text only.

I remember too well - specially boring for cmd E ! 
Well, I'll check again after some hours on RunRev... but still, it is not a vital problem !
