I'm building an Automator workflow that parses a Dropbox "gallery" page containing Quicktime video files, and automatically builds "direct-download" links for each of the files. In the end, I want all the links to be generated into the body of a Mail.app message.
Basically, everything works as expected, except for the part where the new links are sent to a new Mail.app message. My problem is that the links are sent to the body of the message without newlines, so they all get concatenated into a single line, like this:

(Mail.app seems to be wrapping the concatenated string on the question-marks)
The oddest thing about this is that if I use a "Copy to Clipboard" action at the end of the workflow (instead of my send-to-Mail Applescript), I get totally different results when I paste the same clipboard contents into TextEdit vs. BBEdit.
The links seem to paste into TextEdit properly. However, the same clipboard, pasted into a plaintext BBEdit document, yields only the first link:

What could be causing these 3 entirely different behaviors from the exact same results of the "Get Link URLs" action?
