[...] Thanks for the report, but I cannot reproduce this. I don't have Mozilla on the Windows box where I tried this, so I used Explorer to display the Web page you mentioned and Emacs 21.2 running on a GNU/Linux system to which I logged using PuTTY. I had no problems pasting the paragraph you mentioned into Emacs. So I think more digging on your part is required. For example, is Mozilla necessary to reproduce this problem, or any other Windows application will do? Strange, I was just able to reproduce the bug from Explorer as well. I also noticed that if I let Emacs sit for say a minute, and then press C-g, all of the sudden part of the text I tried to paste appears -- exactly up to, but not including, the first dash ("...to see me"). I then tried to figure out exactly which character it is that's causing so much trouble and tried to paste from the command line into a file (using 'cat'), but there the dash showed up just as '-' again. Finally, I downloaded the page using wget and looked at the source in emacs's hexl mode. The character in question is 0xAD. (I think another character that may have been causing the same problem was 0xB9, some kind of mutant apostrophe.) I can open this file in Emacs, and the mutant dash shows up as "angstrom-A" followed by a "-". (Putting the point at place in the file messes up my status line and I have to redraw, by the way, but I'm not sure if that's a putty or emacs problem.) Let me know if I can provide any more details of my setup (there is clearly some difference, if you can paste from Explorer) or if there is a way to find out exactly what emacs thinks it's reading when I paste the problem paragraph and it stops responding.
