Paste Special: HTML From Clipboard ---> RTF

A great feature of Atlantis is the ability to copy to clipboard as HTML; sure would be nice to be able to paste HTML from clipboard into Atlantis.

Yes, it would be a good feature. But converting (fragments of) Web pages to RTF *correctly* is a very-very complex task. Many Web pages cannot be converted to RTF at all. In any case, in order to be able to convert Web pages to RTF, Atlantis would have to have as much support for HTML and Web pages as Web browsers do (by the way, Firefox is unable to convert HTML to RTF at all; it never places RTF data onto the clipboard when you use its Copy command). This would be a real overkill. So regrettably there are not too many chances that Atlantis will ever be able to open or paste HTML.

Well, guess I'm stuck with pasting into Word then into Atlantis...
