Was this observed with plain text mail compose, or HTML? If plain text, then this bug sounds similar to bug 19428.
Observed using HTML composition - the content being pasted included embedded links, and text treatment (such as bold).
Using 2000-02-22-08m14 on NT 4.0: I'm able to get paste to work in plaintext and html compose windows via CTRL+V or menu item.
