[Mesquitelist] switching off colouring of randomly moved branches for tree export

Again, a question related to using MESQUITE to extract sets of trees for 
use elsewhere - hopefully this time I've not overlooked something very 
simple again!

When I create a set of trees which are random modifications of a given 
tree via random branch moves i.e. using

Taxa&Trees->Make New Trees Block From->
Randomly Modify Current Tree->Random Branch Moves

all of the trees have the moved branches highlighted in red.

This is great - except that when I try and export the trees via copy or 
the File->Export menu option, the labeled branches are annotated, and this 
causes problems for the other software.

I know I can turn off the colour using the "Color" tool on the tree 
window, but when I then move on to my next tree, the colouring is still 
switched on there, and when I move back to the tree where I did switch it 
off, the colour is back.

also, when the colour is switched off for all trees using

Drawing->Show Branch Colors                                                                       

The annotation is still included in the exported trees

Is there some way of switching this off i.e. preventing annotations of the 
tree (colours, I guess other things too) from being exported in the NEWICK 
format trees?

Thanks

Aidan
