I agree. I often have a text editor running, which I paste into, then copy from, then paste that into Evolution, just to strip all formating out of text. A "paste as plain text" could be good for HTML mails, but for plain text emails (under Format -> Plain text) - and this is what I send 99% of the time - in my opinion for plain text mails, Evo should only ever do "paste as plain text". What's the use of a formatted paste into a plain text mail? A possibly related bug report (this is for checkboxes, but HTML text fields, buttons, text areas, all do the same thing): https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554392 John: If it's a small bit of text, you can paste into/cut from the mail's CC or BCC field, that does a similar thing, and it's usually slightly less effort than using a text editor for small snippets of text, but it's still a workaround. -- All the best, Nick. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
