I've just looked on a Windows machines running Mozilla 1.1, and it has
the option for Outlook Express as an import. My guess is that it may be
dependent upon some Windows DLL's to actually do the import.

I find Evolution much better than Mozilla, it might import data from
Mozilla's mail store- though I've not tried. Evolution 1.2 seems much
more improved to me, so the new version of Evolution might appeal more
(read back on this list for more info)- once you get data across from
Windows.

I don't understand you not been able to copy from a message to a new
compose window. That certainly works for me, highlight the text w/mouse
to copy, then middle (or both) mouse button(s) to paste.  Maybe I've
misunderstood what you mean.
