Description Mikiya Okuno 2013-10-17 01:12:15 UTC
Whenever I copy text from KMail's message content, it's copied as rich text. I'd like to copy it as plain text. Please add another context menu to copy text as plain text.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a message
2. Select some text
3. Copy it
Actual Results:  
Text is copied as rich text

Expected Results:  
Text is copied as plain text

This feature is required in order to paste texts to virtualbox guests. Virtualbox guest additions cannot handle rich texts. I usually paste rich text to kate, then copy it in order to avoid this problem. However, it's really messy and I want to avoid to do that.

no it's apps which determinate it.
When I copy in konsole it's as a plain text.
So if virtualbox take it as html it's a pb with virtualbox.
