Re: [Evolution] Replying to an e-mail doesn't put quote characters in front of text

[Lonnie Borntreger <email borntreger com>]

Why should that matter?  When I switch a message format from HTML (which
I HATE that it forces me to use the "tab" for quoted sections) to plain
text for a reply (like this one), the "tab" (HTML quote character - did
I say I hate this?) should be replaced by the plain text quote
character.  It switches the sig from my HTML sig to my plain text sig,
so this would make perfectly logical sense.

Whether this is done in 1.0 or 1.0+ doesn't particularly matter to me,
since I see it as a cosmetic issue, but that missing logic should be
added sometime... the sooner the better.

However, a more important feature (yes this suggestion is a feature, and
thus 1.0+) to me would be to "reply in same format" capability.  If my
default is HTML, it should still use plain text to reply to plain text
emails.
