Is this just me?

It would help if you include the version of MailMate you are using.

If I am editing a mail in plain text that include as much text between line breaks that there are line wraps, increase quoting level fails for me.

I’m not seeing this. For a single line of text with no linebreaks, the quoting operation (CMD-‘) first inserts “> ” at the start of the line. Repeating the operation inserts another “>” without the space. It doesn’t matter how long the line is. You can verify that the quoting works using the Preview mode.

However, there are some slightly funky interactions between line wrapping and quoting. I’m not quite sure what the trigger is, but MailMate will occasionally reformat a long line of text into multiple lines. In the preview mode, it still acts like a single “paragraph” that wraps naturally to the width of the window. The “secret” is that each line of the reformatted text in the markup window ends with an extra space. Deleting the space at the end of the line turns it into a hard line break. Put the space back and the wrapping behavior is restored. I assume this is a feature of the markup system.

I tried to reproduce the behavior you described. The only way I could make it happen was to start with the following:

    This is a very
    long line with
    automatic line
    wraps.

Note that there are no spaces at the ends of the lines, so these are hard line breaks. If I set my cursor in the first line and hit CMD=-‘, I get your result.

   > This is a very

    wraps.

If I select all the lines, I get:

   > This is a very
   > long line with

   > wraps.

Adding spaces at the ends of the first 3 lines makes it work exactly the way you expected.
