> When you mark text using the mouse that is "creating a selection".  This bug is about selecting & paste rather than copy & paste, which is a little odd. 
Yes, indeed. Very odd.

> The text body is probably a different type of control which supports more formats than the single-line entries.  Can you try selecting and pasting text from Konsole into other text controls (single-line ones and multi-line ones) elsewhere in Thunderbird and see if this only happens with multi-line controls? 
Selection&Paste seems to work everywhere in Thunderbird, besides the text body.

> Does this apply to Firefox as well?  Since it shares the same user interface toolkit. 
Yes. I tested it with firefox and oowriter.

But this seems not to be a konsole error. It's more a strange selection error.

kde-3-5.8:
selection&paste from xclip input file to oowriter works.
selection&paste from xclip input file to thunderbird text body doesn't work.
selection&paste from konsole to thunderbird text body works.

kde-4:
selection&paste from xclip input file to oowriter works.
selection&paste from xclip input file to thunderbird text body doesn't work.
selection&paste from konsole to thunderbird text body doesn't work

Strange, strange.
