[Alpine-info] How to select an entire e-mail in pico?

[Seth Williamson]

I hope this question isn't too dumb, but I'm frustrated because I can't 
find the answer.

Every now and then I need to select (for later copying and cutting and 
pasting) the entire text of an e-mail in Alpine.

If the entire text is visible on the screen, I can do it with the mouse.

If the entire text is NOT visible, I can't figure out any way to select 
the rest of it.  I wind up having to copy chunks of it and reassemble them 
later.

Is there some way around this?

Also, is there some way to select text solely with the keyboard?  (I run 
Alpine in Konsole, by the way.)
