Hello,
When I use the mouse to select a few lines from an email message, to
copy it to another buffer, what I actually paste is the email message
from the "updated date header" to the end of the mouse-made selection.
Bug?

I seem to be unable to reproduce this, either. (There's a similar bug
report that I've been trying to reproduce for quite a while.)
Hm. What's your value for `transient-mark-mode'?

I tested this and it happens sometimes for me in a new message. If I
set the mark explicitly with `C-SPC' it doesn't happen. I think
`transient-mark-mode' somehow doesn't get taken into account and the
region becomes the interval between (point-min) and the beginning of the
transient-mark region.
`transient-mark-mode' for me is t.

You wouldn't hazard a guess as to why this happens when the text in the
buffer is changed from a timer function? :-)

Nope, no idea. That part of the Emacs code is like Cthulu's diary.

It is, but it really wants fixing. I'll try to get around to debugging
this later this week, unless somebody beats me to it. Now that I know
how to reliably reproduce it, it should just be a matter of
... edebugging through all of Emacs's internals. Yay!
(If I "forget" to do this, please remind me. :-)
