In all previous versions of the Gmail app, a user would have to press Menu, More, and then Select Text. Fortunately, this update fixes that issue by making copying text the same as in the Browser or a textbox: by long pressing it. It’s not a huge addition, and is only available for those with devices running Gingerbread, but it is definitely a step in the positive direction.
