This happens to me, but I had presumed it was to with the fact that I was 
using nano over an SSH connection or something like that.  I use nano for 
all my editing so I dont often paste into any thing else...

That would be handy if it was possible - it would only need a regular 
expression on the first line, sounds easy but Im not a developer for nano 
so Im just guessing!

I am not aware of one but I could probably host one if there isnt one 
already (no point in starting a new one off if there already is one!).
