+@vindex yank-excluded-properties
+  The yank commands discard certain text properties from the text that
+is thanked, those that might lead to annoying results.  For instance,
+they discard text properties that respond to the mouse or specify key
+bindings.  The variable @code{yank-excluded-properties} specifies the
+properties to discard.  Yanking of register contents and rectangles
