Examine the available TARGETS, then bind
yank-media--registered-handlers to the appropriate value when invoking
yank-media.

Try reading every message on this and every other Emacs-related
mailing list (which is what I do), and you will realize that going
back to archives and re-reading the discussions from the beginning is
something I cannot afford.  I must keep discussions in memory or have
them in my short-term archive, right there in the INBOX, so I could
consult the few previous messages immediately with minimal fuss.  A
month in the past is too far, old messages were purged and are no
longer at my fingertips.

Why did you need to wait so long before chiming in again?  Such long
breaks can never do any good, so I respectfully ask to avoid them.
