This is usually because you have written some non-ASCII character.

There are some unexpected non-ASCII characters, like most quotation marks.

Divide your message in two parts and create one post for each part to find the culprit; iterate if needed.

Have not used any Quotation_marks.

I did not say you used them, it was just an example of unexpected non-ASCII characters. Bisect your original message until you find the offending character.

Strange, I was able to save my text without problems to an ASCII file, but here it is still problematic.

Might be a too long issue; but that has never been reported as a problem.

All reported cases have been caused by non-ASCII characters...

FYI: Sometimes it is possible for an invisible character to be the cause of these types of problems.
I have no idea if that has happened on this website or not.
On this website, the few times I have remembered had all been some type of quote.
