Just do it with the ones you know work. ?

It'll just be a presentation error, something to do with the parsed 
response I guess. So just avoid the ones that are problematic?

I'd start by providing a general description (inspect enquiries; make 
new enquiry) then show an enquiry that has a response. Then login and 
show how a new enquiry is started. That might be enough? You could 
labour through the process by sending an enquiry to yourself, then 
waiting, then replying, then waiting a bit more, then you'll be able to 
show another enquiry with a response (but that would be a bit 
repetitive, and everybody knows email works, so why bother?).

You could instead extend the demo by logging out, then starting an 
enquiry, the being interrupted to login, then logging in, at which point 
you can continue with the enquiry that was started. You could extend 
still further by logging out, then starting an enquiry, and then 
creating a new account, confirming email address, and then continuing 
the enquiry. But you'd need an unregistered email account for that.

Whatever you demo, make sure you tested it just before. ;-)

Good luck!
