It would be cool if copy and paste from 6.0 to 4.7 would include URLs. Only the text comes over.
Bruce, are you talking about coming from broswer to mail, or mail to composer, or what?
Neither. I'm in the 6.0 composer. I copy some text that contains a link. I go to the 4.7 composer. I paste. The text comes over, but the link reference is lost.
ok, but for now, there is a copy link location option in the context menu setting to future for now

This should not be an editor bug, but should go to whoever owns drag and drop. The requested behavior should work in any "gecko" window; it has nothing to do with editor. Kathy or Beppe: Does pinkerton own d&d?
no, this isn't about drag & drop; it's about the clipboard format for Composer 4.x. The problem we would need to solve to fix this bug is we would need to recreate the "internal" clipboard format for 4.x to get the link data into Composer 4.x. This wouldn't be trivial and isn't really feasible.

To clarify, I wasn't thinking of pasting into 4.7 *as a link*, but rather as text. Kathy is entirely correct in that 4.7 has a special clipboard format that we no longer want to use, so we will never paste into 4.7 *as a link*. But we have talked about including the HREF of a link in "[...]" after the text associated with a link when we paste from 6.x into any text editor. That's the behavior I was thinking of.
yes, we talked about that in our meeting and it seemed like a good solution
