This works for me with LC9.0.0(dp11) on MacOS High Sierra 10.13.2:
lock the clipBoard
put the clipboardData["text"] into tClip
set the clipBoardData to empty
-- OSX
set the rawClipboardData["public.utf8-plain-text"] \
to textEncode(tClip, "UTF-8" )
unlock the clipBoard
-- Now Go Paste in Apple Mail
For an in-depth explanation check the “rawClipboardData" in the dictionary.
Hope this helps.
