do you mean that when you cut/copy some text, it doesn't copy the mark up codes --so things that were blue or in italics are back to being plain text?

i don't know why it behaves that way.. but it does.. (and the same is true for other boards i have been on..) are there boards with soft ware that let you copy not just the visible text but also the sourse code that controls the appearence of the text?
