Hi Kenny:
...I should clarify what I mean by "cut and paste". I'm interested inIn some cases you could probably use shell commands to help pipe or redirect the output to a file.
pasting data from one app in a gnome-terminal to another gnome app.
In the case of mutt, you could use mutt's "pipe-message" command (default keybinding '|') to redirect output of one or more marked messages to some other application. I am guessing there's a nice way to read mail using that feature, if we can figure out the right gnome and/or shell commands to pipe to.
I believe orca has a 'read all' feature that may allow you to read whole messages from evolution, balsa, or mozilla, if you are in the message pane.
One last point - in general in GNOME, control-C is the keybinding for copy, and control-V pastes, so if you can select text (using the select all shortcut, for instance), then you can paste it with control-V. A few applications use some other keybinding instead, for instance emacs uses Meta-W and Control-Y, but it's not really a 'GNOME' app).

An example would be copying text from mutt to a gnome app. Unless things have changed recently with balsa, Gnome email clients don't have a way to read the entire message without reading line by line. That approach is just to slow to be useful. I can have the text of a message read to me when I use mutt in a gnome terminal. Problem is I can't copy data easily from mutt to another app.
