Copying and pasting from Microsoft office. Very bad idea.

They produce binary "bits" that go with your mail and drive spam and malware detectors crazy. so they drop the mail as spam or malware in some cases.

Libre Office work somewhat better, their HTML is more just HTML and Less Microsoft proprietary stuff.

So the sort of it is I think your mail is being treated as spam or malware by either the recipients server or anti virus program.
