The correct place for this to be tackled is at the Zap end, as the clipboard
owning application cannot easily declare different lists of filetypes
available to different applications.  EasiWriter is definitely working
correctly in this respect.

You could try switching mode to Text in Zap, paste, and switch back to HTML
mode, which would probably have the same effect as pasting via a text
document.  You may even be able to redefine Ctrl-V (when in HTML mode) to do
all three operations for you.
