I'm a bit unsure if you are describing 2 issues here. Are you replying to an email for which MaiMate does not create any body text? In that case, if you can, send me an example using “Help > Send Feedback” and I'll see I can reproduce it.

Make sure you try the latest test release first: Hold down ⌥ when clicking “Check Now” in the Software Update settings pane to get the latest test release.

Why this can happen was explained by Bill in another reply to this message, but if you want me to look into why it happens then you can send me an example. It's very likely that the “heuristic” MailMate uses when trying to edit a draft from another email client is a bit naive (and easy to improve). It's not the common case.
