Yank does discard most text properties. It discards `invisible' properties, for instance. It does not discard `display' properties, and probably it should not discard them, so that you can kill and yank an image. People who agree with Eli can set `yank-excluded-properties' to t, but the current documentation string makes this insufficiently clear. I propose to change the documentation string of yank-excluded properties from: "*Text properties to discard when yanking." To: "*Text properties to discard when yanking. The value should be a list of text properties to discard or t, which means to discard all text properties." Now that I have write access, I could commit that change, if you agree with it. Sincerely, Luc.
