How do you copy Teams message without time and sender information?

I want to triple-click a message, copy it to the clipboard, then paste it in whichever application, and I don't want to see the header (time and sender information).

Yes, it is possible to carefully select parts of a message, and make sure you don't snag the beginning or end of the message so you don't "grab" the header. This is not what I'm looking for. I want a one-click-solution.

I found this post dating from 2013, about Skype/Lync. I'm looking for the same thing in Teams.

Thank you

    There's no way to upvote comments on this platform. It's a shame. I'd upvote every single one of you.

    Hi Benedik Vojtěch, did you open the internal request to review this copy/paste message behavior on Teams? To revert it back to the way it was before?

    Remember: People ONLY want to copy the header IF WE WANT!! Not forcedly imposed automatically! That was STUPID! It was fine before and now is trash.

    Please open the ticket. thx!

    The year is 2023 and this remains an ongoing UX catastrophe.
