Given the rest of the script, why do you care about setting the clipboard at all?

If all you’re trying to do is replace the current text (via Cmd-A) with the contents of the clipboard (via Cmd-V), why not just:

keystroke “a” using {command down}
keystroke theContentString

This will have the effect of over-typing the current document with whatever’s in the variable. No clipboard required.

Even better, if the keystroking is too long, just:

set the content of the document to theContentString

(assuming Outlook’s dictionary is in any way sane)
