[MlMt] pasting text from Word into a message

[Glenn Parker]

I did some simple tests, but I can’t reproduce this issue.

I’m running macOS Catalina version 10.15.6, Microsoft Word for Mac 
version 16.40 (20081201), and MailMate version 1.13.1 (5707). I don’t 
use any third party clipboard utilities.

In Word, I copy some text, and then paste it into MailMate. The result 
in MailMate is plain (editable) text, no image. It doesn’t matter if 
the text is simple or formatted.

Checking the contents of the clipboard via the Finder (Edit/Show 
Clipboard) shows that the contents are in Rich Text Format (RTF).

If the selection in Word includes both text and an image, the clipboard 
gets just the RTF with no image.

If the selection in Word is just an image, the clipboard gets an image 
(TIFF). Pasting the image from the clipboard offers to create an image 
attachment, as per usual.
