Reply via client breaks when message too large
When the message being replied too is too large (working theory; could possibly be odd characters but doesn't seem so), the Reply via your own mail client silently fails.
Sample message that fails:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/f2ba557c69611535038bdb24451ab725ae950aaf917983c18a996b27@%3Cdev.ponymail.apache.org%3E
Mac/Chrome/Version 53.0.2785.143 (64-bit) with Thunderbird as default mail client (which works for short messages).
Chrome developer tools shows the GET mailto:... link was clicked, but (cancelled). It seems to have the right headers and start of the email body content.
It's likely various client OS/browsers/mail clients have slightly different max URL lengths. Possible enhancements are either clipping the mailto: at some default max length, or somehow otherwise abbreviating or shortening some reply-level in the body somehow (but that would be arbitrary).

Most likely a URI length issue here, various browsers only support a mailto link of N kilobytes, the trick is figuring out when the limit has been hit and then truncate. Obviously we need to improve that again
