| Hover mode. An arrow is displayed on the left. Clicking the arrow creates a pointer that can be used as a mouse to select text. Deactivate by clicking the arrow on the left. A quick hover can also be performed by swiping-and-holding finger on screen. This keeps the pointer visible until the finger is lifted. Also, pressing space performs a button click while on "quick hover". This can be handy if you just need to access a mouse-hover menu or such.

Currently there is no text selection support in view mode:  [https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7301 Bug 7301]

The workaround is to Relpy or Forward the email, then in edit mode, use Arrow keys to move around, Shift to select text and Ctrl+C to copy.
