When you copy text from Safari and paste it into Mac Mail, you may notice that the text comes with a slightly gray background, even if you use the "paste and match style" option.

control V does not work to paste in email headers I've got a brand new mac book pro running the latest everything. I thought a new computer would fix this issue, but I used a time machine back up and this long time glitch came along with the transfer. In outlook and mail, ONLY in the email headers, I cannot use control V to paste. I can paste just fine in the body of the email. I also noticed I cannot control V to paste a picture into notes. Command C and X work fine in all places. It's beyond frustrating. I can right click and paste in all these situations, but command V will not work. HELP?!?
