When I tried this I used the following text:

Appropriately styled as per each line.  When I pasted the text back in to TextEdit (step 7) all four lines were underlined and the other stylings had been lost.  This happened if there was a document open in TextMate or not.  If I change the order of the lines, it still comes back all underlined.

I am using OSX 10.6.7 and TextMate 1.5.10 (1623)
