Change the Cursor to select text in received messages:

[Amy]

I would like to change the cursor setting in order to have the ability of
copying and selecting certain text in the email messages I have received.

The cursor is in the shape of a hand and I have no idea how to change it to
the "select" cursor.

Thank you in advance.

Have you tried clicking and dragging to highlight the text you want to copy?

Are the messages in .pdf format?

I am having the same problem. My cursor changed to a "hand" recently.

And to respond to Milly's question that she also asked Amy: No, the
messages are not in PDF format.

Press the ESC key. You're in panning mode.
