Please no.  The thing I hate more than anything else is to type a URL  
and then have it automatically hyperlinked (or converted or  
auto-corrected or whatever).

I don't understand your complaint.  Either the browser is wrapping the  
line or ckeditor (the HTML editor) is.  We control neither.  And  
neither is relevant ... since its the sending output that is all that  
matters (and we never add spaces/line breaks unless explicitly added  
by the user).

There is absolutely no guarantee that what you see on the screen is  
how a user will view the message, so I guess I'm not seeing the big  
concern here.

A paste will happen wherever the cursor is.  I have never seen otherwise.

This is all available in the ckeditor image menu/button.

There is nothing we can do about this.  This is a browser/javascript  
security issue.  You obviously can't automatically transfer things  
from your clipboard to the browser window without opening the world's  
most giant security hole.
