[WASTE-list] pasted tab widths

[Ryan Joseph]

So all the options with wePastePlainText are only available with the  
newest build? I had to stop using the latest build because there were  
too many bugs in the system to pair windows line endings as a single  
character. Unless the bugs were fixed or there is an option to turn  
off that feature I can't access the new features. what do you suggest?

I had to override WASTE's pasting because the RTF parser was invoking  
my flux callback multiple times per paste. Was that ever fixed?  
thanks Marco.
