OTOH, if you copy a book title which you marked in italics, you do want the italics to come with. If you copy a paragraph that you carefully marked up with bold emphasis in places, courier font for command text, and some underlines for good measure, you _also_ want the properties to come with. Clearly, the only real answer to this is to make it possible to choose on a per-kill basis whether you want the properties to come with, and let the user choose the default. -- Alan Shutko - In a variety of flavors!
