With the wonderful new and improved Thunderbird, I cannot copy and paste Word text into an email because when I try, it has no line breaks. How can I fix this?

Chosen solution

Ctrl+Shift+ V paste un-formatted text.

My guess is word is wrapping the text in a table to make it look exactly as it did in word.

I am very frustrated about Thunderbirds cut and past. I have read all what I can find about this subject and Ctrl+C and V. Ctrl+Shift+C and V. NOTHING seems to work!! Why does not Thinderbird open for such thing in an email? It seems I have to go back to another program. This is very frustrating............... Halling51
