I only see the full message before hitting reply if I have activated
the Option 'Choose html part if msg is 'multipart/alternative''
in preferences. Sorry, I haven't noticed that before.

The 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8' part ends.

The sender does not include the default signature sperator.
And I haven't changed it from default.

The full mail is visible when reading, not quoting.


Okay, long story short.
The webmailer is broken as it only includes a small piece of the mail in the 
text/plain part but the full mail in the text/html part.

Is it possible to have an option like the one for reading
Choose html part if msg is 'multipart/alternative'
but for quoting ?
Or shouldn't it quote the html part of the message if I have choosen it
to be viewed ? This way the result would always be the same, you quote what you see ?

Thanks
