On the other hand, I find this feature quite convenient when pasting a link into an HTML email in Thunderbird.

@matt That's great, my problem is that IMO they did it backwards.

It'd be GREAT if they said "Hey, if you want swoopy HTML paste, use Ctrl+SHift+V" but they didn't, they went and broke the gravitational coefficient of the universe: How to paste text :)
