can the image be pasted into any other applications?  (is the copy failing or
the paste?)

What happens if you paste it into a New Blank Page (Composer) and then click the
HTML Source tab?  Do you see any html from the paste?

Refining test case.
1. Real 'copy' after right click is disabled. So using the 'copy image location'
(used to work under Netscape). I do not know if the copy should have been enabled.

2. Paste it into the new composer window -> the textual version of where the
image resides in your e mail gets copied. 
e.g.:
"mailbox:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/kvandewe/Application%20Data/Mozilla/Profiles/kvandewe-2/v7u6401z.slt/Mail/mail.clt.s1.com/lal?number=1530018&part=1.2&type=image/jpeg&filename=YesItsAWoman.jpg"

3. Nothin happens when you copied.

Other scenario: 
1b.  Click on 'View Image' first. It opens a new browser. Right click on the
image => 'copy' is still disabled. Click 'Select All'. => 'copy' bevomes enabled! 
2b. Then select 'copy' and past it into a new composer. Nothin happens ...

The copy doesn't work neither when I try to past into a MS Word. Apparantly the
copy isn't working.

I tried to paste an image (copied from "Paint") into composer (to send a email 
with a screenshoth copy in it, for example), and it does not work, either with 
latest build 2002061108, or plain 1.0

It does work (did, I don't use it any more) with NS.

I'm running 2k with latest patches.

bug 21747 
  Implement backend for cmd_copyImageContents
bug 135300

Duping on the one about copy.
