CSV format is put on clipboard as BinaryFormatted string #9059

No idea why this is the case. We really should just serialize the string itself.

When I fiddled with this in the past I didn't have luck with this as an interchange format with Excel unless I put it on the clipboard as ASCII. I haven't tested this in over a decade so I don't know what the current expectation is.

Task here is:

  • See what Excel works with (if anything).
  • Flip this to just serialize the string and put it behind an AppContext switch.
  • Document how to manually get/put the data exactly the way you want it to be for an arbitrary clipboard format.
