This can also depend on if you're using "Rich Text" or "Plain Text" in your email as well. If you always want to have formatting then use all emails as Rich Text (from Mail Preferences - Composing. Set Message Format to Rick Text if you always want it. Bearing in mind some email clients may revert it to Plain Text if the person is using it). You can also hold the Option key for certain types of "dragging as well". And thirdly, some times in certain Applications you have to click (or double click or triple click depending on whether you want to select a word, a sentence or a paragraph) and then just you sort of "pause" on the text before dragging it, i.e. once you've highlighted and before dragging you click and hold,..then drag. Some applications will read this differently for dragging.
May not help in this instance, but just a few other notes with it as well.
