            Bug ID: 4260
           Summary: Paste from the clipboard doesn't work
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 3.17.4
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3

When I'm trying to paste a clipboard contents being writing a new mail message
nothing happens.

Sure thing, Emacs is related to this issue because I've tried to paste a
selection from an Emacs buffer. But it wouldn't be right to blame Emacs and
only Emacs for that, because I've never face this problem before --- pasting
the same contents works fine in many (all?) other software I use.

A little research I've made shows, that there are some strange type tags that
Emacs annotates the clipboard data with. And the reasonable way to work with
them is just to ignore them: i.e. to ask the clipboard for special data only
when its tag really looks like a MIME type.

There is the patch for qlipper that manages with that kind of problem:
https://github.com/ufleisch/qlipper/commit/f60ac59184149b468d21b1bb5d27535a75e03d7f

With that patch, I've made another one --- for Claws Mail:
http://git.altlinux.org/people/manowar/packages/?p=claws-mail.git;a=commitdiff;h=ffd34a810898daf59298af5707e9d129e87aae0b
.

I don't thing there will be any regressions with this patch, so I'm asking you
to apply it.
