LOL! OE6 in the Vista Beta, has the ability to set the cursor in a
bottom post position, so they probably will get around to pasting plain
text in the WinOS after Vista. ;-)

But it would be great if they setup cut & paste like in Office, where
you can change the pasted content to be either source or destination
formatted. But I guess I'm Opium Pipe-dreaming again!

For the couple of times a week where I run into this situation, I'd
rather just do the switcharoo, than have something else running in the
systray.

I'll take the high road, and you'll take the low road, and we'll both
get to London within a second or two of each other.
