You know, I think there's something going on with the format of the 
clipboard contents, since you're right, if I copy a URL from Eudora, 
pasting it into OmniWeb does the right thing with opening a new tab 
and going to the URL. But if I copy a URL from within OmniWeb, or 
from within Safari, pasting it does nothing.

And apparently, most of the places I want to copy from fall into this 
latter category.
