YUI Editor: How to paste as plain text?

Question
I implemented the Yahoo Rich Text Editor (YUI Editor) in a Rails application using the YUI_Editor Plugin.
If I copy/paste text out of a PDF into a YUI-Editor-enhanced-TextArea (YEETA :)) it does not only copy the text but also the formatting of it.
How do I configure the YUI Editor to remove all formatting of text pasted into the YEETA before inserting it?
I'm intrested in your answer even if you're not working with Rails and/or using the YUI_Editor plugin. Give me a hint and I'll figure out how to solve this with my setup.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Solution 2
As far as I know there is no such function in the YUI editor. Finally I parsed the editor content on submit as described on this question.
OTHER TIPS
I've written an extension to the YUI editor to handle this, you can download it here:
