I also use wide-reply but the problem was that I neglected to include Po Lu in the CCs when I replied to a message in another sub-thread that referred to Po Lu's message. So the issue raised by Po Lu was addressed but he was effectively dropped from the discussion due to my negligence. >>> Do you mean something like a standardized entry in `dnd-protocol-alist' >>> that is independent on OS?

BTW, I would also like to have something like dnd-protocol-alist but for dropped _text_ instead. Currently, every dropped text is handled by dnd-insert-text but I would like to have a handler so that e.g., I can add the relevant bibtex entry for the DOI _text_ (10.BLAH/BLAH no fancy link) onto an Emacs window visiting a bibtex file. I currently do this via an advice but it would be nice to have something less hacky.
