Ah, just found that message. I got this too, Tassilo.

When selecting text in a mail and doing M-w, yanking with C-y yanks
something else. I saw a pattern.

Example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
From: bla
Date: some date
User-Agent: Yeah yeah

Line 1 is Bla bla bla bla
and line 2 is bla bla
where line 3 is bla bla
for line 4 is bla bla bla
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I select:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
where line 3 is bla bla
for line 4 is bla bla bla
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And when I yank, it yanks:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
User-Agent: Yeah yeah

Line 1 is Bla bla bla bla
and line 2 is bla bla
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hey. But if I then press M-y, it switch to 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
where line 3 is bla bla
for line 4 is bla bla bla
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It seems some code is doing a kill just after I did a kill-save,
somehow. If this is done from a timer this can be a race condition so
not always happen.
