Either I really fumble-fingered the stuff (very possible), or it isn't exactly
the same. After changing "'t" to "t" I've found that it works.
Perhaps I should change it back to "'t" to see if, indeed, it causes
it to not work the way I need it to. I don't know. I _do_ know
that with:

all my pasting works the way it should. I know this:
* I highlighted and pasted into this email (mouse-2)
(I later cut and pasted-as-quotation)
* I highlighted and clicked button 2 and pasted in emacs
* I highlighted and yanked (Ctl-Y) in emacs
That's what I needed!
Thank you all. Regards, Bruce
