[Evolution] Could Ximian please respond? - HTML-only e-mails : reply does not indent]

[Dan Hensley <dan hensley attbi com>]

This is my 3rd time sending this e-mail to the list.  I've received a
few responses, but none from Ximian (nothing on my bug report, #16081,
as well), and none that address my specific bug.  I continually run
across this, because Netscape mail sends text/html only if you specify
that Recipient likes HTML in the addressbook.

The problem manifests itself when I receive e-mail with only text/html
and no text/plain.  When I hit Reply, the quoted text is shown in gray
with no indentation or quotation characters.  My default send format is
Text only, so when I reply, it is impossible for the recipient to figure
out what is quoted.

It sure would be nice if Evo could have some consistency in quoted
text.  Currently, text only gets a "> ", text/plain + text/html gets
gray indented blocks (which by the way I do not like), and text/html
only gets gray unindented blocks.  Would it be so difficult to have the
last type get at least indented blocks?

A few months ago I posted a bugzilla (#16081) about this and also
e-mailed the list.

If I receive an e-mail containing HTML only (i.e. no text/plain), when I
reply to it, the quoted text appears in gray, but is not indented.  If I
send this, and it goes out as text/plain (which it will, unless I
explictly specify HTML format, which I usually don't), of course it is
impossible visually to determine what text is quoted and what is not.

In addition, when I reply to this e-mail, the first line of the quoted
text appears on the same line as the tag that says "On <date>, <person>
wrote:".  This is also wrong.

Are these issues something Ximian is planning to fix in the near future?

Dan
