Paste into mail and keep format of pasted text but don't change to that format thereafter This annoyance occurs every time I paste something into an email I am editing in OS X Mail. Here is what happens every time:


I am composing my email in the default format.
I paste something in, which is in a different format, that I want to preserve. This occurs automatically, and is not a problem at this point.
The annoyance occurs when I resume typing after the pasting, and the format has now changed to that of the pasted text and I need to reset it.


I am hoping there is some simple solution to this annoyance which occurs for me many dozens of times per day.
This is what I do:


Write the first paragraph.
Write part of the the second paragraph.
Go back to the end of the first paragraph and press return or enter a couple of times.
Paste whatever will change the text style into the space you've just created.


Not very elegant but it does the job.
