For what it's worth, I find that pasting into an HTML mail often gets

When you paste something into your email, your next line will assume the
same font and attributes (if html email) of the paste object.
When i know i am going to paste a bit into the email, i often will type
"X" on several times and paste into the middle of that so that my font is
unchanged when i start keying the next line under the paste object.
Good strategy.
It seems to matter what formatting attributes are placed on the
clipboard by the sending application. For example, I often work with MS
Access and MS Word, and if I copy/paste field contents from Access into
Word, they take on the attributes of the surrounding Word context. So I
can paste the same bit of text in a bold context and get bolding, and
then paste it in an italic context and get italics. Access apparently
does not put any formatting attributes on the clipboard (except of
course that when copying multiple cells fro a table, it includes the
table structure).
For SeaMonkey/Composer, some source documents seem to provoke
application of the Preformat paragraph style, while others do not. An
easy way around this is to do Insert | HTML and paste or type your text
into that dialog. Since it will contain no tags, the text will take on
the formatting of its surroundings, and it will not affect the
formatting of the following text.
Of course, if you want to retain the source document's format in the
quoted text, your strategy is easiest.
