        Hi,
I think what you face is a problem with quotation of HTML messages,
where the HTML part could sometimes be mispositioned. This is addressed
in 3.22.0+, as part of the switch to WebKit2.

It asks for "discard changes" only if anything changed by the user. The
prefill of the message on forward/reply doesn't qualify as user's
change. Imagine you accidentally press Ctrl+R, then you can just press
Escape and the composer will happily close, because nothing changed,
instead of forcing you to do one more action after the accidental key
press.
