First of all, try M-y after yanking (pasting).

Secondly, investigate delete-selection-mode.

If you see =?iso-8859-1?q?, then it's a different problem.  This is a
Mule encoding, and Gnus 5.7 does not grok Mule.

I recommend that you install Gnus 5.8 which does grok Mule.

You asked for it:


(defun close-all-files ()
   "Kill all buffers that are visiting a file."
   (interactive)
   (let ((buffers (buffer-list)))
     (while buffers
       (if (buffer-file-name (car buffers))
          (kill-buffer (car buffers)))
       (setq buffers (cdr buffers)))))

(define-key "\C-x\C-c"
   (lambda ()
     "Run `\\[close-all-files]' and `\\[delete-frame\\]'."
     (interactive)
     (close-all-files)
     (delete-frame)))
