Problem pasting from Livecode to Mac Mail

[Richard Burkett]

Thanks for the suggestion, Jacqueline, but it didn’t change anything. Anyone else have a script-based solution to make sure LiveCode pastes only plain text? ASCII, Native, MacRoman - none of those text encodings work. 
Even putting only this line in my script results in the same thing:
set the clipboarddata to ( "blah" & lf & "blah" & lf & "blah" & cr & "blah" & cr & "blah" & return & "blah" )

What’s different about text set in the clipboard in LiveCode from other text copied from other Mac apps?

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.
