I get a message that I need to paste to the newsgroup and if I highlight the mini-buffer, the message disappears. (Most) such messages are actually printed in the echo area, not the minibuffer (which shares the same physical part of the screen). The minibuffer is for input; the echo area is for output. (Most) such messages are also logged to buffer *Messages*. Simply visit that buffer (C-x b *Messages*) and copy the message you want, then paste where you want.
