Yes, but is that the "proper" way to copy them?
One has to (know to) look in *Messages*, find the line one wants with
the cursor, and copy that line, no more, no less.

About 10 key strokes, careful positioning needed too.

Clearly "looking in the dumpster for the discarded document."

Thus we see the proper way to copy them has not been implemented yet.
