Since the adoption of RCS by Apple and upgrading to iOS 18.0.1, I'm
having trouble sending messages to one of my Android user co-workers.
The message field where you type shows RCS when I start to message
them, but it fails delivery immediately.  I am forced to send again as
a SMS message every time.

I've tried to find a way to always force SMS message to this user but
can't find one.  We both looked at her phone settings but couldn't
figure out how to fix it.  Any suggestions?
