Re: [Evolution] Evolution 3.28.1: Incorrect quoting of text emails

[Paul Smith <paul mad-scientist net>]

Anyone have any ideas about this?  I've now had to upgrade my work
system and it's much more of a problem there, because I need to send
most of my work email in HTML mode, and it doesn't work as below...

FYI, packages:

ii  evolution                       3.28.1-2
ii  gir1.2-webkit-3.0:amd64         2.4.11-3ubuntu3
ii  gir1.2-webkit2-4.0:amd64        2.20.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
ii  libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37:amd64      2.20.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 
ii  libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37-gtk2:amd64 2.20.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
ii  libwebkitgtk-3.0-0:amd64        2.4.11-3ubuntu3
ii  libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev:amd64      2.4.11-3ubuntu3
