how to highlight / copy in gmail?

[RodgerRodger]

I found one way to do it...

Open up the actual keyboard, and then press and hold the shift key while you highlight the text with your finger on the screen.

None of these methods worked for me. What phones are you all on? Im on the Dinc, and there is NO menu>more>select in gmail, nor will it let me select by holding shift and highlighting. I have to copy the entire contents of an email string and even if this method had worked (let me repeat that it didnt) it still wouldnt have worked theway i need it to.

any other methods?

google is seriosly losing my faith after this and the ridiculous youtube upload disaster....

Do it from gmail.com, do it from k9, use Copy Paste It
