Hm.  I frequently yank text from info, and the invisible property does
not seem to be stripped.  To test, I yank part of info dir buffer:

GNU utilities
...
* idn: (libidn)Invoking idn.                          Command line interface to 
GNU Libidn.

The first line looks bold in this buffer.  The last line looks like "*
idn Command ...".  Same if I yank to *scratch*.  When I send this mail
it will changed into "* idn: (libidn)Invoking idn.  Command ...".

This is with Gnus and message, but I tried M-x mail too and it behaved
the same.
