Export to Clipboard causes errors

I have source that I packagae as both UI and commandline and have separate code for support of both. If I export to clipboard and save the content to a ps1 file (clipboard.ps1) then I would expect it to run up as a UI and behave the same as if I had run from PSS. When run from PSS (mainform.psf) , it works without any error. When run from the exported clipboard.ps1 it errors with the below error. I suspect that it is losing (or adding) something at the time of the export

At C:\cardinal\clipboard.ps1:881 char:16

I also exported to a file and when I run this as a ps1 it works fine so the problem is definitely with export to clipboard. After performing a file compare between the export-to-file & export-to-clipboard, I can see that the Send-MailMessage has had some †inserts that it should not (-from email modified)

Send-MailMessage –From "xxxxx@jxxxxx.com" –To $To –Subject "$Subject" -Body "$Body" -SmtpServer $GLBVAR.smtp -port $GLBVAR.SmtpPort
Send-MailMessage –From "xxxxx@jxxxxx.com" –To $To –Subject "$Subject" -Body "$Body" -SmtpServer $GLBVAR.smtp -port $GLBVAR.SmtpPort
Send-MailMessage –From "xxxxx@jxxxxx.com" –To $To –Subject "$Subject" -Body "$Body" -SmtpServer $GLBVAR.smtp -port $GLBVAR.SmtpPort

After some investigating, I noticed that your clipboard script file encoding is UTF-8. After changing this to UTF-8-BOM, clipboard.ps1 ran fine for me. Please try updating this from the status bar with this file open and let me know if it runs:

I also was able to get the script to run after formatting script (Home->Edit):

That's interesting. Changing the encoding did correct this but I have used "copy to clipboard" previously (perhaps not in this version of PSS) and have never had this issue? Thanks tho
