No I have a problem that the way SeaMonkey takes clipboard data from
an MS product does not work with all e-mail clients and that SeaMonkey
WYSIWYG is not working correctly under the hood. I'm sure if I went
from Word to Outlook directly it would work fine. It is SeaMonkey
that seems to mangle it. This is a SeaMonkey issue not MS. My guess
is it is a Clipboard parsing problem in SeaMonkey.

Probably not. SeaMonkey is probably being too obedient and capturing all the garbage codes Word supplies instead of stripping them out. For example, I tried pasting one sentence from a Word 2010 document into an HTML composition window in SeaMonkey, and I got this:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
      charset=ISO-8859-1">
    <p class="MsoBodyText">The body always operates as an integrated
      mechanism, and &#8220;forms&#8221;
      behavioral or motor acts in strict compliance with the conditions
      in which it
      is placed.<o:p></o:p></p>
followed by 423 more lines of code containing 20,044 characters (including spaces). Yes, that's 20 thousand characters, not 20!

The sentence itself was well-formed; the only change was that the curly quotes were rendered as HTML character entities, which is not a problem.
