This is nice for some things. Other times it's a real pain. My employer sometimes wants a full URL written out in an email and if i right-click a link from Safari and paste in Mail.app it will always try to paste the text of the link, with the link embedded in HTML. I have to resort to pasting in TextMate and copying THAT into Mail.

There's actually a simpler way - use "Paste and Match Style" (cmd-opt-shift-V).
