>I used to be able to display a bunch of messages (without images) then press Ctrl-A and then Copy. This would copy text of the messages only. Then I could paste it all to a Notepad. Now you don't have an option to show messages without images (at least I don't know how) and Ctrl-A copies not the body of the text but some other, unrelated stuff.

Yes, I think it was called view messages in the simple format. I rarely used it, but I agree that it was useful. I actually propose to be able to e-mail all messages in the thread with only author and time stamp, but no other header info.
