Description Sam Morris 2012-06-12 12:26:37 UTC 
Since upgrading to 3.2, I have found that clicking anywhere in an HTML mail causes text to be selected. It's hard to predict exactly what will be selected, but it's usually several paragraphs. This is really annoying because:

 1. Hyperlinks can not be clicked on; instead they are treated as normal text and are selected along with the surrounding paragraph

 2. It's not possible to select just the text I want to copy it to the clipboard
