This has been happening lately, from time to time. When I hit
C-c C-c, instead of this text appearing in the mail-client new message
that pops up:
*** E-Mail body has been placed on clipboard, please paste it here! ***
This is the text that appears there (two lines of text):
*** E-Mail body has been placed on clipboard, please paste
id:/THE/DEFAULT/DIRECTORY/
where /THE/DEFAULT/DIRECTORY/ is the absolute file name of the
value of `default-directory', but without volume name (e.g.,
/usr/.../, not d:/usr/.../).
No idea what causes this (mysterious "id:" and truncated first
sentence), but it cannot be too clear to new users.
[Nit: The first line has a comma splice anyway. The comma should be a
period (two sentences) or a semicolon.]
It seems that the code that is responsible for filling the mail-client
new message is function `mailclient-send-it' in mailclient.el. I do not
see how it could end up doing what I'm reporting here, but that's what
I see. Perhaps `mailclient-encode-string-as-url' is the culprit?

Yes, I am - as I said, "from time to time". It is not clear
when or why it appears sometimes.
It doesn't bother me, so if it doesn't ring a bell for anyone
and no one else cares to look up what code might be coming
up with that "id:" line, then feel free to close it. You can
Consider the report as FYI/HTH.
