You are not following the steps as intended. Most likely because my description is lacking. I'll make a few comments here that might help, but suggest studying the steps carefully for hidden meaning.
Viewing things 'directly' in email has brain-dead crippled copy/paste interface that limits you to copying single words or getting definitions. That is why the attachement needs to be an html file. Clicking on an html attachment shows the file directly in safari and you get the full copy/paste services. Sounds to me like you are attaching the original text (or ijs) file to the email. You need to attach the html file that is the result of applying jattach to that original file. jattach '............your file.....' NB. jattach creates file ~temp/jattach.html NB. this html file is a simple html wrapper around your file NB, ~temp/jattach.html is the file you want to attach to your email message clicking on the jattach.html attachment in the email on your iPad will display the text of your original file in a browser window that has full copy/paste support. Tap and hold and you will get all the text selected and will be able to tap copy. Hope this helps.
