[Evolution] Broken formatting of citation with WebKit composer (was: Bouncing emails)

[Paul Menzel <paulepanter users sourceforge net>]

Dear Evolution folks,


this message is a good example of a problem, I am having myself.

Citations are by default not marked as preformatted, causing them to be
formatted really badly with no manual interaction, as you can see with
the line having *better* in it.

Additionally, trying to fix up the citation, or for example, replying
in interleaved style, and hitting return in a text, the quotation level
is increased. Trying to delete the > sign, causes the text to be
deleted and not the > sign.

To my knowledge this problem is present since switching to the WebKit
composer. I am using Evolution 3.20.4 and WebKitGTK+ 2.4.11.

Are the developers already aware of the problem? Are there already bugs
reports submitted or do I have to do it?


Thanks,

Paul
