For some months now, I've been successfully capturing Firefox data as
explained here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html
But the results below demonstrate a problem. The 2nd and 3rd represent
what was captured into Emacs, the quoted line in each case being what
was highlighted in Firefox.
Emacs version is: GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+
Version 2.22.0) of 2011-05-03

"I like that Chrome’s fast, and I really like that it’s robust"
Org-mode version 7.4:

Org-mode version 7.4 (release_7.5.409.g4f3a3) == latest

"I like that Chromeâ%80%99s fast%2C and I re%C2%ADally like that
itâ%80%99s ro%C2%ADbust"
I don't yet have the Elisp chops to see where this should be mended.
(The bogus hyphens are only a minor concern but they're a puzzle.
Apparently some Javascript is sprinkling the text with soft hyphens
which are removed when copying via the browser but not when capture
copies using window.getSelection())
Thanks, Bill
