Copying text from messages

1)If I want to quote someone message or part of it I have to go to Inbox but I can't copy it 'cause there is no option.How can I do that?
2)Is it possible to copy text when i'm writing a new message only using predictive input?
Thanks

Open the message you want to quote,press forward.You can select parts of the message for copying by pressing and holding the pencil/abc key and press copy.

yes i figured that out,but after that i have to save it to drafts(actually it saves it by it self) or to exit messages,and then start it again.Is there some other way? I just can't beleive that phone that costs that much doesn't have some basic functions that work in some normal way.

What "normal" do you compare to?

If you mean "Microsoft Windows normal" (or something similar), then the behaviour is decidedly implemented differently.

If you compare it to other phones, how do they allow text cut&paste in the first place (or do they at all)?
