It's possible that that was an intirim bug when we added the ability to copy from messages. I'm not sure. Anyway, what matters in the end is that it works now.

It kind of gets comlicated because I can envision people wanting multiule variants like should it or shouldn't it include punctuation. Also, let's say that you're wanting to copy file names from a listing and some of those names contain spaces.
