Once you've copied text from a rich-text editor, the rich-content is stored in a difference place than the system clipboard, and is likely used in priority, instead of the text copied from URL, because when you copy the URL address from a MUI gadget (or from any other application), the rich content is not erased, since it's a generic clipboard operation, that has nothing to do with OWB and thus rich-content clipboard data isn't cleared, and is used again and again. In the meanwhile, you can easily work it around by copying URL and pasting it in to subject/cc line, and copying it again from there.
a) I am not sure if this would work but I think that a possible solution when you copy a rich content would be creating two copies in the clipboard: one the normal rich content and the second one would be the rich content converted to plain text (I guess it will be more complex than it may look). That way at least copying from rich content to plain text would not be problematic
b) keep a list of stuff copied to clipboard by OWB and if latest element copied is not rich content delete all the old rich content clipboard data used by all OWB instances. Perhaps this solution is more dirty.
