Comment from the downstream bug:

"""Ok, I've done a bit more experimentation and I think I can give you some additional info, hopefully even useful!

If I have my email format set to Plain Text, I cannot get the crash that I reported regardless of how or what I copy/paste.

If I have the email format set to HTML, I cannot get the crash if I copy plain text into the email. However, If I copy HTML text into the email I can reproduce the crash every time.

The specific steps to reproduce are as follows:

- Click New > Compose Email Message
- Enter any email address in 'To:'
- Enter anything into 'Subject"
- Go to any webpage, and highlight a few lines
- Click 'ctrl c'
- Place cursor into the body of the open Compose Message window
- Click 'ctrl v'
- Crash will occur 100% of time for me.

The trick seems to be to have the email formatting to be HTML and then copy-paste HTML content.

Hopefully this is helpful."""

Seems it's 100% reproducible for some users, but not for others.
