[cw-discuss] Clipboard problem in 6.1

[Jeremy White]

Yes, I agree that this is a big issue; it's our #1 priority atm.

The catch is that if you install IE into the same bottle as Outlook 2003,
this problem essentially goes away (although there are still a few bugs).
That's why we're not being lynched more actively.

We hate that IE dependence and are working to eliminate that need, hopefully
it will come relatively soon.

Cheers,

Jeremy
