I am the source of the data.   I have written a program
that reads new purchase orders from my inventory
database and formats it into an eMail format that my
vendors have started requiring.

My goal was to take my data and create a format that I
could paste into GnuCash.  I frequently forget to enter
orders into GnuCash and THAT make for an INTERESTING
reconciliation with my bank statement.

Since I am the programmer, I can insert anything in the
clipboard I want, including weird characters.
