iOS 13.1 cutting off text of forwarded emails?

Since moving to iOS 13.1, my iPhone 7 has been cutting off emails that are being forwarded when using the Apple Mail icon on the iPhone. If you look at the forwarded email, it only includes the subject line of the earlier/previous email and cuts off the rest of the text of the email. I changed the iPhone setting to use "Complete Threads" and that seemed to resolve it, but then the issue came back, so I had to turn the iPhone completely Off then back on. Turning off and on seemed to resolve it temporarily. Is there a permanent fix to this email problem? Thanks!

Hi,

I have found this also. It's definitely an iOS 13 issue (along with lots of other new Mail app bugs that are annoying - so much so that for my personal iPad and email I have moved to using the Outlook app), and needs fixing. I have to use the Apple Mail app for my work iPad and iPhone, and have discovered a workaround in the meantime....


Click on the email you want to forward.

"Select All" text in the email.

Now click on the (arrow and) "Forward" button.

Now you should find all the email below as normal.

These are the reported issues so far and none are resolved in iOS 13.2

 

· Lose the email thread when forwarding or replying to emails, only the subject title is carried over.

· Can’t see the drafts folder emails being saved

· Emails that you have replied to remain as unread

· Duplicate emails are coming through

· Often have to restart the mail app in order for new emails to come through

· Issues with flagging emails, doesn’t always work

Having all the same issues with mail app in 13.2.2. Very disappointing that Apple messed with something as critical and fundamental as email. Our users are now using the Outlook App and Gmail apps as a workaround (ridiculous).


We have a dozen users reporting these issues so the old “wipe and reset” nonsense is a joke. They have e iPhone 8, Xs and 11. So it’s. It hardware specific.


We can’t wipe and reset everyone’s phone. Apple needs to OWN THIS AND FIX IT. This is what happens with monopolies folks ...


  • Forward messages truncated
  • Duplicate sent items appear
  • Send email arrow button doesn’t respond sometimes. Have to exit app and reopen then it works.
  • messages don’t refresh in folders (especially ALL SENT ITEMS folder)
  • other day mail app got stuck with an “UNDO READ” prompt and wouldn’t let me hit undo or cancel.
  • And other strange things...!

Same issue, iPhone X s, iOS 13.2.2, iPhone 11 Pro iOS 13.2.2 iPad Pro 11” iPadOS 13.2. I find it happens more often when I am forwarding from my sent items, it is creating an issue with my boss. Something I noticed, I also have the outlook app loaded and it works great all the time but when I reply or forward with this app it always ask if I want to load the complete message, when I click on this it always loads the complete message, in the Mail app it does not always ask and when it does it may or most of the time may not load the complete message. I am going to try and delete the Mail app and re install and set the accounts up again maybe this will work.

I even tried iOS 13.2 beta 2 and got the same results. Have logged the issues with the Feedback Assistance as well. The Mail app is unusable for corporate users. Draft emails don't work either.


It even been mentioned on major local news channels so it is big news as first suspected.

This is not MDM related, We have other users with different MDM,s experiencing the same issues.


I agree with you, we are also having the same issue, this is very frustrating as sensitive e-mails are not coming through, we have tried every work around possible, works temporarily (meaning 2-3 days) then reverts, user stop seeing entire thread when replying.


Apple needs to begin providing better BETAS for testing, maybe seperate Betas for Corporate Users.


Thanks,
