Using emacs under the Terminal with OSX, I've found the display gets
messed up when I try to paste text from Microsoft Word with "Smart
Quotes" and other special characters like hyphens and formatting
instructions (like bold or italics) in them. I've found myself pasting
into TextEdit instead and removing the smart quotes and other
problematic characters I find. I know there should be a way of dealing
with them from within emacs. Anyone know how?
