Reusing discussion posts from a previous course

For context, I am a math instructor, who frequently teaches the same courses from one quarter to the next. One of my uses for Canvas discussions is as a place for students to ask questions that I answer.
As would be expected, students often ask the same or similar questions each term—so it's nice to be able to reuse my answers, if I already wrote one I liked. When I have a discussion post in a closed course, I can copy and paste text context, tables, and images. But mathematical expressions do not copy. And since those are often the heart of my responses, it means I basically can't reuse such previous discussion posts. (When I describe a course as "closed", I mean it is in a state where I can view—but not edit—my discussion posts in that course.)
Is there any process or workaround I'm missing to be able to copy such previous discussion posts that would include mathematical expressions?
