User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0
Build ID: 20161031133903
Steps to reproduce:
1. Write an email with a .tmx attachment (see first attachment in the zip below: this file is a memoq cat-tool's file, formerly an .xml file with .tmx extension).
2. Receive the mail.
3. Open the mail.
4. Write a REPLY mail with some body text (and with NO attachment)
5. Send the mail.
Actual results:
In the sent mails folder, you will see the message, but the body disappear completely, and you'll see just one single sign (see second attachment in the zip below)
Expected results:
I want to see the whole message in the body :)

Yes, I can confirm this.
The problem is that the UTF-16LE encoding is taken from your pseudo XML file and used in the reply.
As a workaround, you can simply switch the encoding to Unicode or Western and there is no problem.
In the meantime let me find out what the status of UTF-16 encoding is in TB, Magnus, do you know. UFT-7 is discontinued, right, but I've never seen UTF-16 being used other than internally.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true

I don't know, why CAT-tools (like MemoQ or Trados) uses UTF-16 instead of UTF-8.
(The tmx specification allows utf-8 too: goo.gl/H2Bjs5 )
Thanks for the info though.

Since I made this a duplicate, my NI got lost. I'll ask again in the other bug 1026989.

Watch bug 961983. There we will put a stop to UTF-16 for composition.
