OS X 10.8.2, GNU Emacs 24.2.1.
I read my email in Emacs using the "wanderlust" mailer. I store
passwords in 1Password, and would like to use the "copy" button in
1Password to put the (~20-character) stored password into the
clipboard, then paste it into the request for a password in Emacs. I
have confirmed the clipboard is doing the right thing. However, when I
C-y yank the password from the clipboard into Emacs, it only pastes a
single character. This is annoying; I'd like it to paste the entire
clipboard.
The function that accepts the password is elmo-read-passwd,
http://pastebin.com/3xYGQU5L .
Happy to get any thoughts on how to trick emacs into accepting the
entire password!

Does the password ever get longer than one character? The end of the
(while ....) form always truncates the rightmost character.
If that's not the answer, then look at
"
(set-clipboard-coding-system CODING-SYSTEM)
Make CODING-SYSTEM used for communicating with other X clients.
When sending or receiving text via cut_buffer, selection
"
I learned here that that variable should not be utf-8 in w32. I don't
know what it should be under OS-X.

Oops! That's in the (cond ...) form, just stripping off final control
char (\r \n \e or \b).
