Marko, Thanks for the suggestions. I am a fairly fast typist. My initial thinking was that I was doing more-or-less what you suggest. I'm pretty certain I'm not accidentally typing Ctl-V Ctl-Enter however, in part because the message doesn't actually contain the pasted text. Accidentally pressing Ctl-Enter should leave the pasted text in the buffer, right? I do use Ctl-Shift-V fairly often. I don't recall ever seeing a message sent that way. Is there some way I can disable the keyboard shortcut that sends the message? Sort of like removing an Emacs key binding? I never use it anyway, and if that's what is really happening, it's not really a useful key sequence (for me, at least).
