I am using a pre-compiled GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2015-04-11 on LEG570. Yes, I'd prefer when Emacs yanks the text in the correct charset which it doesn't at my side. Can somebody confirm this wrong behaviour? How can I help? -- All in all, one of the most disturbing things today is the definitive fact that the NSA, GCHQ, and many more government organizations are massively terrorizing the freedom of us and the next generations. http://Karl-Voit.at
