Makes sense.  Your cutting from a Unicode interface (pango, embedded in
Evo and most current GNOME apps) and if your pasting into an ASCII
(UTF-8 only) window (say a terminal running VI) you'll get this kind of
thing.  I've seen it cutting from Wordpad (Unicode) and pasting into
Notepad (ASCII) on Win32 too.  Only notepad shows them as 'garbled
characters'.

I'd think pasting into gedit from evolution and saving the file in gedit
would not cause the problem (both pango apps);  but I could be wrong.
Pasting from Evo into VI frequently causes problems.
