I'm not in Linux at the moment, so I can't say for sure whether this
will work. But it should (it's standard X11 behavior):
1 Arrange your AbiWord and mail windows so that you can see them both.
Put the mail window on top.
2 Select the text that you want to print.
3 Click the *middle* mouse button over the AbiWord window. This should
paste the selected text into AbiWord.
If it doesn't work, the only thing I can suggest is to wait for 1.0 or
use a different word processor for now.
