- This sounds like you're using Lucid Emacs with Hyperbole loaded (in
- all probability). Hyperbole is the one that binds middle mouse
- button to following links. Hyperbole will let you toggle the mouse
- behavior from hyperbole's version, to the default. The default for
- Lemacs IS paste 'primary selection'. Toggling mouse behavior is
- usually bound to "\C-c t". If it isn't bound that way for you, the
- function is called "sm-toggle-mouse-bindings".

- If you Are running hyperbole, hyperbole does different things in
- different modes, and in different contexts. See the manual for more
- info. If hyperbole is running and its mouse bindings are on, you
- should never get paste from middle button. You'd have to turn off its
- bindings to paste.

-
- Sounds like sometimes you're loading hyperbole and sometimes you're
- not.
