I agree it should work since it is an available option but I've always thought that was too much work so I've never done it that way. I just select my text, copy it, cmd-tab to text edit or open it from dock if it isn't opened, and pasted. This has somehow seemed easier to me than going through

Dear Listers, I've come across a very strange behaviour when sending selected text to TextEdit. As far as I can recall it has only happened thus far when I was trying to select a portion of an e-mail and then executed the command to have it send to textedit. Textedit will open a new window in
