I just answered to Elis posting which should also answer the
question of my (faulty) configuration.

What I want to achieve (I should have started with this one in the
first place): yanked text from Outlook had wrong charset (fixed!)
and a different syntax for list items. I am trying to automate it so
that I can paste to Org-mode and get Org-mode syntax for list items.
Therefore I want to search&replace within the yanked text to look
for Outlook bullet point snippets and replace them accordingly.

Wow, this is great news. Thanks!

Cool help!
I am not sure if I want to modify yanking in general. I was thinking
of defining my-outlook-yank or similar that does the additional
stuff.
