Copy Paste / CTRL+C CTRL+V with Outlook.

I have one more issue with MC. I need often copy emails and Attached files from outlook.

Al works fine if I Drag & Drop or when using RightClick+Copy RightClick+Paste.

But as a fan of Keyboard I prefer often CTRL+C and CTRL+V. When copying email from Outlook I get a window "Save Clipboard". If I cancel that the email is saved properly. On OK, it saves TXT clipboard data - not original format.
Copying attachment results in "no operation" - simply nothing happens. Pasting immediately after into Windows Explorer copies the file normally.

Is it normal behavior or something wrong with my settings ?
Thanks Jan.

MC has a feature that if there are TEXT or IMAGE (like print screen for screenshots) data in the clipboard it will allow that to be saved to the disk when doing Ctrl+V.

So I suspect that when you do Ctrl+C in Outlook , Outlook put all kind of different data into the clipboard. And TEXT is one of them. (Else that dialog would not show up)

So the data that outlook put into the clipboard is creating some kind of conflict with MC

I tested the clipboard and you're right, outlook stores the email headers as a text. With copying attachments it stores empty text. That would explain the behavior.
Nevertheless, is it somehow possible to switch off this feature and keep standard windows functionality ?

Thanks Jan.

Well It is not possible to turn it off.. But I might be able to add so the Windows Shell Paste command can be called by a script command. then it is possible to create a UserCommand then you can assign Ctrl+V to that command instead.
