Fey, are you using gestures are a BT keyboard? If gestures and if you don't mind editing what you paste you can swipe to the text message, quadruple tap to send it to the clipboard,open the email, change rotor to edit, swipe up or down 1 finger to 'paste' and double tap. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Matzura" <number6...@gmail.com> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2020 7:10 PM Subject: Re: Copying a text message into an email
The one thing about copying text mesages, or forwarding them, for that matter, that folk need to know is that if the mesage being copied or forwarded is formatted--that is, if it has line breaks, empty lines, etc., all of that formatting is lost when the copied message is pasted into another text message. If there's a way to preserve that formatting, I'd really love to know how, because I have to forward a lot of text messages with formatting that lose that formatting when transferred, rendering them almost unreadable because lines that have hard returns have lost them.
