It is not possible to paste into a gmail rich text compose window using a
right click menu option.   When right clicking, with something in the clipboard, a paste option should be available in the context menu.  Ctrl-V works.  Paste is available in a plain text compose window.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to gmail
2. click compose, select rich text editor.
3. copy some text and attempt to paste into the compose window by right clicking and using the paste context menu item.

Actual Results:  
The paste menu item is missing.

Expected Results:  
A paste menu item should be there.

IE6 has this context menu for contenteditable elements, but not for designmode.
But I think that Mozilla should have this.

This is supposedly a duplicate of a resolved bug, but this bug is not resolved.  I think it should stay open.
