Comment(by tomeu):

 This one is tricky.

 Right now, we are putting journal entries in the clipboard as 'text/uri-
 list', and the data contained in the clipboard is a file path pointing to
 the entry file.

 Activities should understand that target and import the data if it is in a
 format that the activity understands.

 Alternatively, we could put the actual data in the clipboard, and set the
 mime type of the entry. We should check first that the journal entry is
 not too big.

 A separate problem is that Write offer text clippings in a bunch of
 different formats, and we right now choose RTF as the most significant
 one. So the journal entry is in RTF but many activities understand plain
 text but not RTF. Should we consider plain text as more significant for
 Write?

 Marco, comments on this?
