(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #6)

This is completely unreasonable, to require any external application (here:
LibreOffice)'s data compliance with some specific conventions used in "this"
application (here: Thunderbird). LibreOffice generates a valid clipboard
content. Thunderbird just takes it as HTML, and without any processing, merges
with their already existing HTML. If done this way, it could not only override
previous formatting, but could maybe have even worse effects. This is the
specifics of their processing; it is not reasonable to require other apps to
fit into that simple way of merging of the data.

Given that they are built on an HTML processing engine, I could *imagine* (but
I don't claim it's "easy": of course, that could be very complicated) e.g.
something like separating the stylesheet from our HTML, merging in with their
stylesheet in a smarter way (e.g., making sure that pre-existing properties
take precedence, or even dropping all pre-existing styles ... ?). Anyway,
pasting is necessarily complex thing, especially when you take data from
arbitrary source. You just can't expect infinite number of external
applications to fit into your specific data model - you need a processing.

I don't see this as LibreOffice fault.
