Why is it that tables pasted from MS Excel are not converted into tab-delimited text in Jedit X?

When in rich text mode, tables from MS Excel are pasted as character strings with formatting intact, which prevents them from being pasted as tab-delimited text. Therefore, when in rich text mode, you must select Paste as Plain Text from the Edit menu. However, when in plain text mode, you can use the normal Paste command because the formatting information is not carried over anyway.
