Problem pasting from Livecode to Mac Mail

[Paul Hibbert]

I use a small utility called PopClip, I wouldn’t be without it (although it does have some issues with LC on occasions), but it does allow you to choose to paste plain text if you wish along with lots of other useful copy/paste options. Saves me from some frustration.

It’s available on the App store. More info from pilotmoon.com if that helps.

When I paste that into Mac Mail, the text appears double-spaced as if it has two returns, but clearly there is just one (or a combination of CR and LF?). I’ve tried all the keys for setting the clipboard and also writing a script to delete line feeds, or CR characters, but nothing works. It’s either no returns, or what appears to be double-spaced returns.
>> If I paste the text first into Text Edit, then copy it, and paste into Mac Mail it’s fine - single line spacing. What’s LiveCode adding to each line that causes Mac Mail to show the pasted text as double spaced? Is there a way to filter/remove that?
