Hi!

When I paste text from a Windows application to my Emacs (running
mainly Org-mode), I get wrong charset.

For correcting such wrong character sets, I want to write a function
that corrects the charset. Additionally, I want to add some
search&replace stuff to convert Outlook-list items to Org-mode list
items.

So this is, what I want to achieve:

  1. clipboard-yank
  2. operate following things on the yanked region:
     1. recode-region (from mule.el)
        - from: windows-1252
        - to: latin-1
     2. replace list items
     3. replace enum items
     4. paste from clipboard

How can I work with the newly yanked region after clipboard-yank?

With a construct I named "with-region" the structure should follow following
concept:

(defun my-convert-windows-region ()
  (with-region (clipboard-yank)
     (recode-region ...)
     (string-replace ...)
     (string-replace ...)
  )
)

How can I accomplish this with Elisp in reality?
