 Hi. If I copy text from Lyrics Finder HTML view to Pidgin, a CSS rule is
 added visibly. In other programs that process HTML to plain text CSS rules
 are not visible. This includes Mozilla Firefox, LibreOffice and Geany.

 Pidgin fails to handle the pasting properly, resulting in:
   p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } TEXT
 TEXT
 TEXT

 instead of
 TEXT
 TEXT
 TEXT

 Steps to reproduce
 1. You can obtain VLC Lyrics Finder here: https://github.com/Smile4ever
 /VLC-Lyrics-Finder
 2. After installation, open the attached file in VLC and go to View ->
 Lyrics Finder.
 3. Now copy a few lines
 4. Start Pidgin
 5. Paste into a conversation
 6. Formatting error is present.
