Has anyone experienced the following?:
I have received two email replies this evening (from earlier, separate
emails I sent) which appear to be simply a copy of my original email
(i.e., no reply text). The first one I received did not trigger any
alarms as I figured the fellow simply hit the reply key in error, but
when I received a similar one later from another individual, I began
probing.
I emailed one of the guys and asked if he had, as I surmised, simply
hit the reply key in error. He responded quickly, but with another
email which contained only my emails-- and none of his reply text. I
knew he had sent actual text because I saw the email being delivered
in the little pop-up box in the lower bottom right part of the screen
and I read the first part of his reply (quickly, as it faded away...).
I did make one setting change earlier, but I can not believe it might
have caused this issue. I use .html emails and I use a particular
stationery background. I might note at this point, as you might have
suspected, I have not ever had any issues with missing text in email
replies. Anyway, I earlier went to Tools/Options/Mail
Format/Stationery Picker/Edit and changed the font to the one I have
set as my default for composing messages under Tools/Options/Mail
Format/Fonts. I'm not sure why I did this, but for some reason I
thought it odd that these two were different.
I have since changed it back hoping this was the culprit, but I have
yet to hear from either fellow. I will also note that this issue has
only occurred with emails which include my original stationery in the
reply. In other words, emails I sent during this timeframe that were
replied to, but did not have my original stationery as part of the
reply were not impacted by this disappearing reply text.
Any thoughts or help? I am baffled.
Thanks,
