It is classic. Scott Meyers did a presentation on that, calling it the "keyhole" 
interface, because it shows the view as if you looked at the data through a keyhole.

Sometimes I defeat the keyhole by doing a "select all" in it, and then pasting 
it into notepad. I do the reverse, too: if the text entry box is only an inch 
square (some companies do this), I'll compose the message in notepad then 
cut&paste it into the keyhole.
