Using N6 11/8 on WinNT 4.0 SP6. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001108 Netscape6/6.0 To repro: 1) File-->New-->Message 2) in body, type "asdf", hit return, type "asdf" 3) open a browser window 4) doubleclick the URL to select it 5) hit CTRL-C to copy 6) click in mail message body on blank line between two asdfs 7) CTRL-V to paste Expected: URL pasted as Body Text, consistent with surrounding text Actual: URL pasted as Preformat Some might argue that flat text strings should be pasted as Preformat by default. However, it's purely a widest-use-case convenience question, and I think that in general, the fact that you're pasting a URL or something into a mail message body doesn't mean that you want it to take on Preformat properties; in general, you want it to look the same as the surrounding text. I think our behavior in Mozilla should be consistent with that of Nav4.x, namely pasting as a flat text string & taking on properties of surrounding text.

4xp for behavioral backward compatibility with 4x and user expectations.
