Combination, HTML using formatted inserts
And what happens if you use plain text?
I have not tried that.

You can do this if you want.
Goto "All Messages/Sent" and select a message that didn't show right for a recipient and hit ctrl + s to save it as an mbs file.
View that file in a text editor like Notepad++.
Change anything secretive like email addresses. But, don't add/remove any lines.
Ctrl + a in the document to select all the text.
Hit the tab key to shift everything 4 spaces to the right. (See here for why.)
While all the text is still selected, hit ctrl + c to copy the text.
Then, in the textarea where you're writing a comment to this post, ctrl + v to paste that text.
That way, we can take look at the source of the message to see if there's anything wrong with it.
It'd be best if you try to send a test message that's as short as possible (preferably without attachments) that triggers the problem for a recipient and show us that. But, if all you have is a long one you've already sent, that'll be fine.
Or, you could just upload the mbs file somewhere and link to it here. Whatever is easiest for you.

I forgot the 4 spaces.

Okay. Looking to see if I can find anything wrong with what Opera is doing.

I'm not seeing anything wrong with the sent message. The HTML markup it uses looks fine also.
For the reply, an html body header is specified but the actual quoted-printable data for the HTML body is missing. Also, the closing boundaries after it are missing too. Therefore, you get a blank body unless you check "prefer plain text" (wrench icon at top right of Opera), which would then cause you to see the text plain alternative.
Is the recipient using Opera Mail too as suggested in the user agent header of the reply?
There are some things you can try. One is to go on the "outgoing" ta in the account's properties and set the encoding ot utf-8.
Another thing you can do is close down Opera Mail and edit accounts.ini in the mail folder (see Menu -> help about Opera for the location). Under the section for the account in question, make sure these are set (they're the defaults).
Allow 8Bit Headers=0 Allow 8Bit Transfer=0 Allow Incoming QuotedString QP=1If 8-bit transfer isn't set to 0, you can try setting it back to 0 as maybe the servers you're using don't like 8-bit transfers. On the other hand, if it's set to 0, you can set it to 1 which might avoid quoted-printable encoding and allow straight HTML markup for the body, which might avoid a bug one of the servers has with quoted printable or something.
I personally always set 8bit transfer to 1. It's not the default though.
Anyway, make sure the settings you use and the recipient are the same (if you both use Opera Mail) to see if that helps.
Also, if you can, try creating a test account in Opera that uses another mail service besides yahoo (like Gmail) and use that in Opera Mail to send the person the message. If it works then, it might be something with Yahoo's servers that booger your mail up. If doesn't change anything, maybe it's the aol server doing it. Maybe if you setup a webmail.aol.com account and set it up in your Opera Mail, you can send back and forth to yourself between ymail, aol and gmail to see if you can figure out who's the culprit.
I also wonder if an anti-virus email scanner the recipient has is doing something funky. Or, if it's just the recipient's Opera Mail that's messed up and needs set up again. Or, it might be the aol webmail interface that's messing things up if the recipient isn't using Opera Mail or Thunderbird etc.

I have had this issue for months as well. Haven't seen any solution at all yet. My email body appears blank to anyone using AOL (@aol.com) or old Compuserve (@cs.com) accounts (@cs.com is also owned by AOL). The problem occurs on all clients, EXCEPT mobile clients. So, the recipient cannot see my email on their laptop or PC/Mac, but can see it on their phone.
I have tried sending email using other clients--Yahoo, Postbox, Outlook, and they work fine--the recipient can see the email just fine.
If you have any other suggestions, please send them on. The only way I can get email to these folks is to send the email via another client, and copy myself. It is very very frustrating.

@shellygal, There's something messed up with the message source you posted. This extra line:
From xxxxxx@satx.rr.com Fri Feb 26 14:46:15 2016is causing Opera to split the message into two different messages with the second message missing an HTML body. Is that source supposed to be a single message from your "All Messages/Sent"?
