    Hi Herbert,

    Thank you for asking a question to understand why the conversion is needed. You've helped me many times over the decades, and you deserve the answer.

    In the past, Carlos, Andy & others have noted my nntp headers have a
    character set defined (or not) that doesn't always match the character set.

    That's because I don't use a "real" newsreader.

    I wrote a unique simple newsreader (which is just a bunch of batch scripts with telnet, stunnel & gVim predominating) but which has no good way of knowing what character set I'm pasting into my gVim NNTP editing sessions.

    Worse, I can spend hours on a Usenet post, where I can combine input from dozens or even scores of web page sources, so character sets will mix.

    So I try to automagically force every character in the final gVim edit to
    be only 7-bit pure-ASCII characters (using a Notepad++ control-B macro).

    1. I select text in Chromium & press "ctrl+c" to copy to clipboard
    2. I type "n" in the taskbar Windows "Win+R" runbox to bring up Notepad++
    3. I type "ctrl+v" to paste that HTML text into that Notepad++ session
    4. I type "ctrl+b" to run the conversion to ASCII & clean the clipboard
    5. I type "ctrl+v" to paste that clipbrd into my gVim editing session

    This is extremely simple.
    Yet very complicated.

    It's brilliant, IMHO, but most people likely won't understand that concept.
    But some people *do* understand that the Windows clpbrd is rather messy.

    And some people might *appreciate* that I clean everything to 7-bit ASCII.

    While many people waste about five seconds per Usenet post, I can invest hours, where I collate input from a huge variety of sources, and, as it
    turns out, when copying from many sources, CF_HTML metadata fragments can corrupt the text in ways that most people have absolutely no idea of.

    I need to stress that out of a million people, only two or three know what
    is in that thread I listed above, so I understand that most people wouldn't have any idea that the Linux/macOS/Windows clipboard is so complicated.

    It's simple.
    But it is complicated too.

    A clipboard copied from a browser contains a lot of "garbage".
    Only some of that garbage is visible, but much of it is invisible.

    The updated notepad++ macro below converts all that invisible/visible
    garbage into the ~95 7-bit pure ASCII characters found on my keyboard.

    <!--
    To break Scintilla's CF_HTML fragment mode, we need to make any edit.
    We can insert a space & then delete that space, for example.
    <Action type="0" message="2001" wParam="32" /> (insert a space)
    <Action type="0" message="2326" /> (delete a char to the left)
    But that is dependent on the position of the cursor, which changes!
    So, in v4p4, instead of Insert space, Delete space before the caret
    Insert a newline, Move caret left, Delete the newline

    "HTML Paste Mode" prevents the "Control+A" from working.
    "HTML paste mode" inserts HTML fragment as plain text
