What do you do when the private message you wish to send receives an authentication error because it is too long? Can you copy an paste it into a community post or? There are no personal information included so a public post to reach the recipient is not an issue.

@88cranston Excellent idea ....if I know I have a lot to say. This will avoid my missing post issues.
This should have been the solution.

I just sent you a test pm. Copy and paste from Wikipedia about Al Capone. Is over 48 lines...is it not?
Often I compose a note to perfection in Apple notes and then copy and paste it.

Wanted to award solution to both @mimmo and @88cranston but I had to chose the closest to my solution. I managed to "select all" and share it to my memo and then copy and paste to the private message. It cut off the last line but I'm happy enough to have gotten that far.

Try to split a long message into two or three parts. Split a number of attachments into parts of message as well.

@Lemony_Snicket As I'm sure you can guess...no really I've had almost 24 hours to reflect on my frustration yesterday. I have simply and very clearly laid out all the facts I have managed to gather from my own posts and others to support and in plain language prove my point to avoid the complete waste of time yesterday resulted in. I usually approach an issue in this manner by having my research and points at the ready. I didnt think a missing reward was going to require a debate that requires the the information that the mods have access to that i do not. Its not fido...or so I thought.

How about being a little more succinct. You really do have a few axes to grind! My guess it's not necessarily length but also size. Did you attach large files?

So instead of" copy "what would be more effective" share" or "select all"? This where my lack of computer skill comes in...

as @88cranston said splitit up into two or maybe take a screenshot and attach it as an image? if you can you attacht files in Private messages the save it as a pdf and attach?

@mimmo @88cranston Ok it's long...48 lines.
