When I type in mathim chat http://mathim.com/ and I try to save all text simply by selecting it, all dollars got lost. Otherwise the TeX markup is kept.

I think a possibility of saving it with dollars would be useful, since then I could save the text of chat and process it with TeX.

A side question: Is mathim affiliated with this forum in some way. (I've notice that it gives a link to this forum.)

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I may have fixed it. See if it works.

Thanks a lot, tommycli!
It works nice - the clipboard contains dollars now.
 
It seems that mathim was changed again.
When I try to copy the text from mathim, there are no dollar signs, some symbols are copied as unicode symbols, some of them are not copied at all.
:-(
