Articles on the web etc..having quotes, single quotes, dashes, things like that. That accounts for 95%+ of my copying-from locations if not 100%. Where I'm copying into is emacs 21 (latest is 21.4.1) on my dreamhost.com account into which I ssh or telnet...I was using the standard terminal on Xanxros, but I just switched from Xandros to Ubuntu for my home OS..but the same things happened on my office computer last year (which was running windows..I'm on sabbatical out of state so I can't look up the exact windows ssh client right now..) so it doesn't seem to matter which ssh/telnet client to use...but if there is a client to use on linux that (a) has nice features overall as an ssh client and (b) you know from experience doesn't have a problem being pasted-into from "rich" text copied from a browser, that would be great, that would be exactly what I could use.
