I also want only plain text to be pasted so that I can apply my own styles to the text.
The reason that I am looking at RichTextArea instead of a plain TextArea is because I want the ability to show emoticons and TextArea does not support anything like images with the text. I don't see a "PasteHandler" in RichTextArea -- is there some way to catch the past operation and turn it into plain text?
