Hi!

Just tried this and I can confirm both your bugs.

calling org-edit-special on the following line gives artist-mode (or whatever it is called..):

: some text

calling org-edit-special inside the block gives ffap:

#+begin_quote
  some text
#+end_quote

/Gustav

Yes, it is.

I tried that too, and again the edit buffer was in artist mode.
I use the emacs24-starter-kit now, so not all customisations are mine.
But I can't see anything that sets edit buffers in artist mode.

Might that be related with openwith mode? I have that activated
globally. But it shouldn't happen with emcas -q then.
