If you do need to reply with quotes to such a message, there are two "HTML Cleanup" scripts at Wayne Brisette's PowerMail AppleScript Archives: <http://homepage.mac.com/wayneb/powermail.html>
I use Brisette's script myself which I think does the better job with Swedish special characters, but I believe you need to have BBEdit installed to use it. Anyhow -- both scripts give you a text you can quote, cut and paste etc. Invaluable at times.
