Steps to reproduce:

Paste into compose window.


Actual results:

Font is always set to Preformat.


Expected results:

I would like pasted  text to default to Body Text. At the very least I would like to have the option to do this. If it exists I can not find it. I have discovered that "Paste without formatting " will sometimes do this, but if the text immediately preceding it is in Preformat, then text pasted using "Paste without formatting" remains in Preformat rather than Body text. I can understand that people would  want pasted text to retain formatting , but personally I want it to appear in  Body text. Every time I paste text into an email, which is often, I have to change the font back. Not a big deal maybe but it would be nice to be able to switch the behaviour off.
