I cannot copy on Mac OSX from Hotmail using Command-C. Why?
I used to be able to do this just fine, but now, since I installed version 8.01, the only way I can copy is to use the copy function from the pull down menu. Command-C works with Google email and from various search info. but not at all when I open a Hotmail message.

Chosen solution
Reason for this problem: Hotmail introduced a new keyboard shortcut feature which has been acting out on OSX.
Fix for this problem:
- Goto Hotmail options (top right hand corner of Hotmail) and select More Options.
- Under the category Customising Hotmail select the option Keyboard Shortcuts
- Select 'Turn off keyboard shortcuts' and then save!
All fixed, CMD+C will now work to copy text :)
