I think a better question is `Should tables (and more importantly, _parts_ of tables) really remain "active" after yanking?'. It sounds rather annoying to me for the same reason that yanked keymap properties usually are. [BTW, if it's decided that this _is_ a good feature, please call the property something like `yank-preserved-properties' (actually I'm rather fond of `yankable-properties') and make it a list of property names or t.] Thanks, -Miles -- Fast, small, soon; pick any 2.
