Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue from an opened email through the three-dot menu and Edit as New Message on Android 14. Trace that compose entry point and compare the resulting draft with the original HTML formatting and inline images. Done means the new draft preserves the original formatting and images rather than using text-only mode.
