  1. Extract annotations
  
  2. Copy
  
  = Bug =
  
  Formatting is lost, at least:
  
  * hyperlinks are lost
  
  * proper bullet characters (Unicode?) are replaced with ASCII or similar characters
  
  * font colour is lost
  
  = Screen shots - source of copy, and result of copy =
  
  
  
  
  
  - the result of the copy is text, presumably text/plain.
  
  = Environment =
  
  * Diigo Toolbar 3.1.6.3
  * Firefox 3.0.5
  * Mac OS X 10.5.6, Intel.

  = Workaround, to retain links and other richness when copying =
  
  1. set aside Firefox for Mac OS X
  
  2. use Safari, through the web (TTW), a diigo.com interface to extract annotations
  
  3. ignore the 'Copy' button (bugged)
  
  4. follow steps (6) through (10) at http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/extract-annotations-copy-does-not-copy-to-pasteboard-8511
  
  Postscript: an example produced by the workaround:

  Subject: workaround (not using Firefox) in the absence of a solution for Firefox
  
  > 1. set aside Firefox for Mac OS X
  
  That workaround is probably the best.
  
  A 2001 bug in Mozilla core https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79864 probably blocks any Diigo solution for users of Firefox.
