To copy and paste text from an email, you must:
1 - Open Conversation
2 - Click on the email thread (minimal details about which is which)
3 - Open a specific message (1 line max summary)
4 - Click on the three dots -> Show Entire Email
5 - Select the text and copy
The email interface is super clunky.
Emails should come through as text that can be copied rather than what looks like images to me.
