Pasting email addresses in Reg. Expressions Tester

When I paste text containing email addresses in the Test Regular Expressions window, they are recognized and get the extension " <mailto:copyoftheemailaddress>".

Why is that? I do not want that! It messes up my test.

This doesn't occur when I read the same contents of a file, which is fine and just as I would expect.

OK, my mistake, sorry.

I copied some text from a website, pasted it into a text editor, and later pasted the same text into the Test Regular Expressions window. Text Crawler just "processed" (simply pasted) the HTML contents I copied and not the plain text I saw in the editor, as I expected.

After copying that text, pasting was OK.

Perhaps it could be made optional to paste Clipboard contents as plain text into Text Crawler.

The current beta of TC2.0 now pastes the clipboard contents as plain text into the tester window.
