Description Johny Why 2015-05-27 22:43:03 UTC 
hi

when i paste into a plain text email, formatting is kept. Should be stripped. 

i often copy paste text from the web into emails, and i usually paste into a plain-text editor first, to strip formatting, and then paste into email. 

i started a rich text message in geary, then unchecked 'rich text', then pasted. but the formatting was retained. 

i believe eM client includes feature to "paste as text" which is even better, because then i can include all my desired formatting in other parts of my message, and don't have to convert message to plain-text before pasting. 

i think it's a bug, but calling this enhancement. 

thx!

We do have separate rich text and plain text paste functions, and the plain text paste is the default.

However, with the inline composer, our Ctrl+V handler is not being called.  Instead, webkit jumps in and does an HTML paste.  You can still do a plain text paste via the context menu.  I assume that's what you're running into, so I've marked this as a duplicate of 730495.  If not, let us know.
