Error in text for selected email message

more options

Sometimes it is impossible to get the text of a selected email message to appear when the message is selected or when "Reply" is chosen. Instead the text of the next message down and the address of that next message down appears in the reply.

If I forward the troublesome message to Thunderbird from my email client on cell phone - Blue Mail - the text in the forwarded message comes up blue in color. This does not occur for other forwarded messages.

Does anybody have a suggestion for fixing the issue? It is often important that I need to reply to the text detail in Thunderbird after performing some cartography or spreadsheet analysis.

Thanks
