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

    the very reason CrApple will never be used by me. Sounds like a Dictatorship.

    Seems fixed indeed.

    Wow, at last, an incredible battle has been won -__-

    EDIT: I feel for those who liked or needed this feature, but unfortunately, it seems that in their determination to become like Apple, Microsoft has also decided to make choices for users rather than giving them the option.

    That is true!!! FINALLY!!! MS finally quite this non-sense of bringing the header automatically when selecting the text.

    I hope they added a flag somewhere allowing users to chose if they want the header together or not. In my case, 90%+ of the situations I don't want the header. I feel logical that if I want the header, I would select it together with the message and then copy it.

    THX @Microsoft!!! Took only 3 years but you finally fixed it. And it was not there in first place! You should just have left the way it was at first.
