Yes, of course. My mistake writing "ASCII" as I'm aware of the limitations of ASCII. What I meant (and should have written) was: 'styled text, other than text encoding information'. >As for the bug with Tex-Edit Plus you're seeing, this is due >to additional, WASTE-specific data put on the clipboard by >PowerMail in a format that chokes Tex-Edit Plus (itself a >WASTE-based editor).
