Copy and paste from notes to mail = Large Font!!

Hi, I hope someone can help with a frustrating problem I'm having.


I have some stock email replies for my business in my notes. Since iOS10, when I copy and paste the text into the mail, the copied text is much bigger than standard. There seems to be no way of editing the text size in either the notes or the mail app settings and so cannot find a way to address this. This is very frustrating as the emails I'm sending are replies to customers and look unprofessional.

iPhone 7, iOS 10.1.1

This worked for me:


- Copy the text from notes

- Paste into mail (font will be bigger).

- Select all the text in which is now in mail and cut (cmd-x)

- Paste the text back into place in mail (font will now be correct).

Ridiculous, right?! I was talking with a friend who said that she had been plagued with this same issue since iOS10 and we both had been waiting for a fix because surely this irritates more than just us. She found that if you click the "share" (up-arrow-in-a-box) icon in the upper right corner of the note. From there, select "copy" and it copies all of the text allowing you to paste it into an email as we used to. It's quick but does not allow you to select certain pieces of text - it's all or nothing.


The share>copy function is actually a nice idea but what's with not allowing us to do it in the selective way within the note itself that we used to be able to do? More options are always better; don't break what also works.
