I'll CC bug-gnu-emacs to tell them that better would just be plain text
with the words
--text-below-won't-be-sent
Bla bla bla
--text-above-won't-be-sent

1. it is now clear that the magic region won't be sent.
2. The user can finally copy words on *his* screen (he bought the
computer. He ought to be allowed to copy... without needing to try
SHIFT etc.)
