Oops, my fix wasn't completely correct either. This one is and is less redundant although it doesn't keep with the spirit of org-set-local (org-set-local 'buffer-substring-filters (cons (lambda (x) (set-text-properties 0 (length x) nil x) x) (if (boundp 'buffer-substring-filters) buffer-substring-filters nil))) -- Ed Hirgelt Life is too short to read bad books.
