It is far better to have a convenient way to clear out text properties from the region. I use rmime.el. This program automatically interprets some mime contents of received mail, and displays them in the rmail buffer. I often found myself copying that content and pasting it in a differnet buffer, only to find that the yanked content was not the text I was looking at, but rather the mime attachment. This is very annoying, as I do not know of a way to avoid it. I just wanted to copy what was visible on the rmail buffer.
