Data copied from Word is structured and not just simple text. Many years ago,
before I switched to MailMate, I did a copy-and-paste from Word into an Apple
Mail message. To my surprise, it did the right thing with footnotes—it changed,
say, a superscript 3 into a [3] in the message, and included the text of the
footnote at the end of the pasted insert. Very convenient—but also messy for
some programs.
