Hi.

I have been trying to track down a copy-paste problem in Emacs,
documented in Debian bug #144806:

       http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=144806

In a nutshell, an accented character is pasted in the "Non-Standard
Character Set Encodings" format, e.g. "é" is pasted as
"^[%/1\200\214iso8859-15^Bé".

I have seen earlier discussion on bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org about this
back in 2001:

  From: 	Karl Eichwalder
  Subject: 	Cut from xterm (iso-8859-{2,15}) and paste into buffer
  Date: 	Fri, 16 Nov 2001 21:05:55 +0100

  http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2001-11/msg00552.html

However, I couldn't find any conclusion on this issue. Has there been
further discussion?

Regards,

Hugo
