Well, I never have seen anything like this so far. So I guess this isn't
a known issue -- but bugzilla.gnome.org does know issues better than
me. ;)

If this is reproducible please file a bug in bugzilla, and attach the
full raw message that triggers this behavior (File / Save As). Please
post the bugzilla number here.

I'd like to test this myself.


A workaround might be to not quote the entire mail when replying but a
selection only. From your description it sounds like there is some kind
of an image link that maybe triggers this. This may be a red herring,
though.

Try selecting a few words only using the mouse in the original mail --
then reply. This should include the selected text only in your reply.
