Hm... so you are suggesting that during quoting of a plain-text message
in an HTML message, no style conversion should happen ("the sender can't
do anything" – why is that?), yet you're also suggesting that Roundcube
should freely re-format any HTML messages it gets if it sees an < at
the beginning of a line? This doesn't sound logical to me.
I'll repeat myself, but I believe that HTML is supposed to be shown
as-is. Unlike plain text, HTML has all the means necessary to store
information about nice formats and colors in messages, so at least in my
opinion, there is no reason why the receiver's MUA should do anything
fancy about displaying HTML messages (well, anything other than
stripping scripts and disabling images). If the sender's MUA is
incapable to format HTML messages in a way the sender wants it displayed
by the receiving party, then what's the point for the sender to use HTML
in the first place?
