Click and hold while pressing [Ctrl]-[C] works as before, I confirm. -

I did find that if you just need one message with the sender and timestamp, clicking Forward under the three dot menu for the post pops up a box that allows easy copying of the text with the name and time info.
Still MS needs to fix this and make it like nearly every other app out there, allow everything to be selected and then copy what is selected. If only the text is selected, only copy the text. If the sender and time are also selected, copy it all. And don't magically include what you think we might want. We know what we want.
