PlaintextextFrom the land of good things and small packages:

If you’re like me, you find yourself regularly fighting goofy formatting problems with text copied from web browsers and pasted into email (Outlook, Thunderbird) and blog posting (BlogJet) clients. Well, if you’re a Firefox user, here’s a solution:

PlainText is a browser extension that adds a context menu to Firefox (or the Mozilla browser) that allows you to copy a selection as plain text, sans markup. So simple, yet so freakin’ valuable!

Hallelujah! Thanks to Marc Orchant for the link

Julie Lerman hooked me onto PureText - a utility that allows you to paste text copied from anywhere (not just a browser) as plain text. It works great. http://stevemiller.net/puretext/
