I'm running macOS High Sierra (10.13.6), Word for Mac 16.39 (20071300), 
and MailMate 1.13.2 (5712). Copying text from Word and pasting directly 
into a MailMate composer window results in a .png attachment being 
created, although Finder's Edit--Show Clipboard says the clipboard 
contains RTF text. (MailMate doesn't "offer to create" an attachment; it 
just does it.) Pasting as plain text into MailMate does insert text as 
desired, though; thanks for reminding me of that option, whoever it was 
who mentioned it!
