Re: [Evolution] Problem with pasted text

[Seth Williamson <orthodox ntelos net>]

Thanks for this suggestion.  Unfortunately, pasting it via the menu
command makes no difference at all.  There's still that dotted line that
makes a box around the text, the solid bar down one side, etc.  I can't
find any way to just get it to paste in plain text without getting this
odd behavior as a consequence.  Very irritating...
