I am not skilled in those Emacs technicalities, but from personal pasting of text I know that various face or font settings may be visually such in other buffer. Those are visual settings. Enriched mode has some underlying settings and if no text was marked as bold in the enriched mode then those visual settings would disappear. For example I am looking at this email and your quoted text is appearing something of orange color, but if I would copy and paste that in Enriched mode, the orange color is not saved. That is because it belongs rather to the theme or visual representation of text. It is not saved because the true digital content of the text did not contain the visual information, it is separate. It is not a bug in my opinion. Maybe there exists way to slurp or obtain those visual settings and convert such into Enriched mode. I use Enriched mode for my notes. Jean
