That's an interesting point; I think replies are the ones that haven't worked for me--though in my case the service is Outlook.com. I'll have to try pasting into a new email next time reply doesn't work. That said, seems replies are working fine for me yesterday and today :)

If I copy and paste into a new email it always goes. I have thought that it was because I use Thunderbird email client that feeds thru Gmail since Gmail does seem to be unfriendly here as Mike has noted in the past. Since I do not reply a lot it is not to much to cope with all considered. This is a "reply". I may have to redo it the hard way.
