Just to address the original question: if there is a bit of text in an 
incoming E-mail that _really_ needs copying or printing, you can 
use Windows Start button > Find > Files or folders to locate the file 
containing raw message data:

1) In the File name box type *.mbs
2) Set the search location to your opera\mail directory (i.e. 
c:\program files\opera\mail ) and tick the include subdirectories box.
3) In the Containing text box (in some Windows versions hidden on 
the Advanced tab) type a characteristic phrase from the E-mail you 
want to find, or copy & paste time stamp information from the 
header.
4) Click Find and open the file found in Wordpad. On most 
Windows systems the file type MBS is not associated with a 
program so you can just double-click the file and select Wordpad 
from the list of suggested programs. Find the text you need and do 
whatever you wanted. Then look forward to the bugfixed next 
version of Opera ;-)

> Unicode? Explain for us Niewbies please!

Unicode is support for more character sets than our western 256 
ASCII characters. The missing support for Chinese, Japanese, 
Korean, Russian and several other character sets is Opera's 
MAJOR drawback in the global browser market (or maybe I'm just 
biased by having Japanese flatmates?). Seriously, OS has been 
working on Unicode implementation for a while and it will be a most 
welcome feature when it finally is included.
