What browser are you using?

Are you running a software firewall?

Is your AntiVirus up to date?

I had this problem too, I think it was in FireFox. I don't recall what I did to fix it, but I'm, willing to help and to see what I can do

I've got no solution to offer but yes Firefox does do strange things to yahoo email, I sometimes open yahoo in IE, which I hate- for a while there, actually months and months, all the text formating options like bold, underline etc vanished from my version in Firefox. Now I can't copy text from Word to email. Who knows what mysterious powers are at play...

Spyware?
Like copy&paste maybe does not work anymore in Firefox if you have NewDotNet -spyware.
mozillazine.org - Copy/paste not working - the solution

or fucked up Firefox profile?

But don't delete current Firefox profile, your bookmarks are there.

Edit:
I did test it and there(Yahoo) is same thing that is also with Gmail, if i use Rich formatting in Gmail's Compose -window.
If i press Mouse Right -button, there is no "Paste", never.
But Copy&Paste works if i use Browser buttons or CTRL+C and CTRL+V.
My Firefox is 1.5, i did never use mouse Right button there with 1.0.x.

Other text formating options did seems to work there(Yahoo).
I mean those buttons, like Font type, size, color, bold...

Master B:
At Yahoo Mail, go to Options > General Preferences.
if "Compose messages as color and graphics" is selected, does it help if you select "Compose messages as plain text"?


ps: i did do that now, it's better to have compose window without any text formating options, because normally i don't even use those.
And now i can use Mouse Right -button Paste, because it's not Rich formatting -window anymore.

Thanks for the info 1on1fan - I'll take a look at that - the inability to cut and paste from Word to Yahoo Mail is a pain.
