I saw the answers you received about copying the text in a text message and
then putting it into an email but the easiest way to share the text of a
text message is simply to forward it to an email address. I tried this
recently with IOS 7 and the text messages were sent to my email as
attachments which opened easily.
When I was forwarding the message to my email I put in my name in the TO
field and then double tapped on my email address.
It then sent the message to me.
I am including some instructions about forwarding messages in IOS7 that I
saved from someone else's previous email.
Open the text message you want to forward. Tap on it to select it.
In iOS 7 just flick down or up once when you are on the message you want to
forward. Your action rotor should be active unless you turned the rotor to
something else and flicking up or down once puts the action rotor on "More".
Double tap on this and the message you are on will get selected and the
Forward and Delete buttons appear at the bottom above the home key. If you
want to forward multiple messages in a thread just double tap each message
and it will show as selected, when you are done double tap on Forward which
is near the bottom right.
put the email address in the to field or choose it from your contacts list
by typing in part of the name and choosing the appropriate email address.
I often use this to send text messages to my own email to save for future
reference.
The second easiest way would be to use the 3 finger quadruple tap to select
all and copy it. Then you have to open the mail program and paste in the
info from the clipboard.

Subject: Need Some Tips on Edit Functions
OK, I have to confess to some total ignorance here. I want to take the text
from a text message and place it into an e-mail so I can send it off to
somebody who doesn't have a mobile phone. Here's my questions:
- How do I select the text I want from the text message?
- How do I then copy it to the work space?
- How do I then paste that text into an e-mail?
- Where can I read about using these edit functions so I can learn how to do
additional things?
Thanks in advance!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to You and Yours
Holland and Bill
- Scrooge, witnessing the Cratchet family Christmas celebration, begins an
exchange with the Spirit of Christmas Present:
- "`Spirit,' said Scrooge, with an interest he had never felt before, `tell
me if Tiny Tim will live.'
`I see a vacant seat,' replied the Ghost, `in the poor chimney-corner, and a
crutch without an owner, carefully preserved. If these shadows remain
unaltered by the Future, the child will die.'
`No, no,' said Scrooge. `Oh, no, kind Spirit. say he will be spared.'
`If these shadows remain unaltered by the Future, none other of my race,'
returned the Ghost, `will find him here. What then. If he be like to die, he
had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.'
Scrooge hung his head to hear his own words quoted by the Spirit, and was
overcome with penitence and grief."
- "A Christmas Carol," 1843, Charles Dickens
