Hi, I've tried to use Emacs Everywhere to compose a couple of emails using Mozilla Thunderbird.
If I wrote a plain text email everything is fine. If I try to compose a rich text email, line returns does not works. and all the lines are merged.

Probably the line return character is not translated to the correspondent "new line" (probably a <br> or a </p><p>, I did not check).

Thanks again :-)

Huh, I'm able to reproduce this is certain apps but I'm not sure what's going on.

FWIW, changing (call-process "xclip" nil nil nil "-selection" "clipboard" buffer-file-name) to (call-process "xclip" nil nil nil "-selection" "primary" buffer-file-name) in emacs-everywhere-finish fixes this for me.

✨ emacs-everywhere-linux-copy-function emacs-everywhere-paste-cmd
2c0ec9c 
defcustom for alternative methods of handling the clipboard on linux
also added documentation of the added as well as other customizations

Overlaps with issue tecosaur#28 and maybe also a fix for issue tecosaur#10

The modifications have at least a few weak spots.
  1. emacs-everywhere-paste-cmd should maybe be a function
  2. organization of added functions and vars
  3. (eval `(... ,@Args)) is (apply ...) elsewhere

1. There's a solid argument that it's easier to use as a list:
the intent is clearer and there is little ceremony.
but it is weaker (can't drop into elisp) and inconsistent with
emacs-everywhere-filename-function and emacs-everywhere-linux-copy-function

2. I get the sense things were well organized before I started poking around.
But I'm not deep enough into to understand what should go where.

3. `emacs-everywhere-call` uses
    (apply #'call-process command nil t nil (remq nil args))
  Just saw that. That looks cleaner than using eval. I'm here to
  practice lisp. Got carried away in emacs-everywhere-paste-cmd?
