NSTextView will generally make sure that the selection is a reasonable
range. One complication is that in general NSTextView supports
multiple discontiguous selected ranges. If such a selection is in use
then just calling -selectedRange will not capture all of it. If there
are attachments in the text, they will appear as replacement
characters in the string. I don't think that's really a reason to do
such a convoluted thing as getting out RTF and converting it back to
text. Better generally to deal with the text content as a string (-
string) or attributed string (-textStorage).

Am I
missing a simple method that will do this?
[[myTextView string] substringWithRange:[myTextView selectedRange];
(Warning, composed in Mail. Potential thorny issues with text
attachment characters, surrogate pairs, composed characters, marked
text… "the selected text" isn't as simple of a concept as it may
seem.)
