Gary, glad someone else is seeing this, also. I'd be interested to see if you're on patch 430, as is Ben, or newer or older.
Ben, yes, I am CERTAIN that 'clipboard' currently contains "unnamed"; I did check before I claimed that it did in my original email, but I appreciate your thoroughness. The output of ":verbose set clipboard?" is:
clipboard=unnamed
Last set from c:/vim/_vimrc
The specific line from my _vimrc is:
set clipboard=unnamed
Thank you,
Salman
