I wasn't aware that had ever been possible?

afaik this was not yet possible

oh, beaten by tanghus :)

if I am right I was also right to add it to the 100 paper cut bug list

if it was possible at some time this is "just a normal bug"

Or a regression ;)

This has been possible. I'm not sure which update caused the regression. My guess is Torronsuo.

Sailfish Messages has never supported full copy&paste.

You can copy the whole message, and the text links (numbers, email addresses, urls) get interactive link, but unfortunately Qt does not support copy&paste on read-only text. There are ways around it, but the implementation is not trivial thus no support yet.
