User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

Rich text support is now great and useful.
However, it can also be desirable to paste a text as plain text, and merge with
the rest of the message without its specific attributes

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Browse a web page with headers, text in bold, italic, plain text, etc...
Copy a portion of text mixing multiple font sizes and attributes
Open messenger and create a new message (in HTML mode)
Start writing the message and quote third party text
Paste the content of the clipboard


Actual Results:  
Clipboard content is pasted with most of its rich text attributes, and there is
no way to do a 'paste as plain text'

Expected Results:  
Propose an additional option in the Edit Menu to do a 'Special paste' (?)
Else, you need to open Notepad, paste in it, copy again, and paste in your message
