Simply highlighting a text message in Skype to copy it elsewhere doesn't work very well, because often times it also includes unwanted metadata. There is a feature built-in that avoids this problem and even eliminates the need to highlight. You just have to right-click anywhere on the message and choose "Copy Message".

The new default is the same than what Windows has been using for years. What this means is that websites will finally
