Cut, Copy, & Paste greyed out Mac Mail on High Sierra

The Cut, Copy, Paste, and several other options are greyed out in Mac Mail on my iMac running High Sierra, macOS 10.13.3. Cmd C, and Cmd V no longer work either when I select several mail messages and attempt to copy them to a folder on iCloud. Copying locally to a folder on my iMac doesn't work either.

Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a fix?

Pasteing into Apple Mail I'm unable to paste into the text area of an email in Apple Mail on a mid 2014 Macbook Pro. I am using OS 13. Oddly, I CAN paste into the subject line or any other line. I have already reset my disk permissions using diskutil in Terminal. I am also able to paste in other applications. The final wrinkle is that when I try to paste something into the text area, it seems to insert a blank line or two. This started "out of the blue". Any ideas?
