One of the problems doing cut & paste in an email is sometimes the formatting you don’t want to insert. So a right click function “Insert as text” would put the bypass via notepad (to get rid of the formatting) out of business.

• It should not display the 'Paste Special' dialogue, but just paste the plain text.

• On Windows/LibreOffice 5, Ctrl+Shift+V brings up the Paste Special dialog and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V pastes it without formatting. MS Office should be similar, GW should keep up with this de-facto standard.
