yeah, nn6/moz is really sneaky that way.  it doesn't highlight the numbers,
but *blammo*, there they are when you paste.  grrrrr.

aside from this issue, i much prefer that ie does *not* include list bullets
(whether they be shapes, letters, numbers, etc.) when pasting as text.
however, when pasting as richtext, it includes them which is fine.

thanks for still trying to fix this issue, but as long as line numbers get
copied in nn6/moz it'll be a no go as far as i'm concerned.
