In Windows, with message dialogs like this:

alt text

You can use Ctrl+C to copy, and when you paste, you'll get this:

---------------------------
Message title.
---------------------------
Oops, something went wrong. :-(
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Just use Ctrl-C, then paste it into notepad (or whatever else). It's always worked for me
