Must be something with the text messaging app then... because the function works everywhere else. Try downloading Handcent SMS or other alternative SMS app.

Is it possible to copy a phone # from a email and paste it into the dialer, if so how? I was able to do this on my windows phones, but can't figure it out on the Evo.

I use handsent sms and the only option it gives me is to copy the entire field. This, to me, is the biggest problem with andriod, and I can't understand why more people aren't discussing it or finding solutions. Am I missing something?? The copy/paste feature seems to be a feature built into each app (in their own way), and not on the base OS or andriod (i know it works on stock programs, but to me it should be a basic function of the OS it self for EVERY program, not just what comes stock on the phone!!), like in WM. What gives?! Can we PLEASE get more attention to this issue, anyone?

Just tap on the number, even though it doesn't appear to be a link.
