In game text paste to E-Mail question

Archived from groups: alt.games.starwarsgalaxies (More info?)

Twice now I have spend some time typing an in game E-Mail (I am not a feast typer),
only to have the system log me off before I sent.

If there a way I can type something up in a text editor, cut it, and then past it
into the in game E-Mail?

The windows default of CTRL-V to past bring up the planet map. Is there another way I
do not know of?

Like Charlie says, you have to remap your keybindings, for both Copy and
Paste.

As for typing something up in a text editor, you can do this by opening
up the file 'notes.txt' (I think that is the name, something similiar at
least) - it is in the SWG directory under your profile name - in your
editor of choice. Type out your message in that file, and then save it.
When you are back in-game, you can type /notepad and your message will
appear in there. Then you can copy that text (using your newly rebound
keys), and paste it into the email.

Hope that helps...
