Hi BG, That would kind of be hard to do in modern day time. EVERYTHING comes in the HTML formatting now I think. My bank emails, Youtube, etc etc Unless you mean, that they wont open emails from personal friends or family that is formatted in HTML?

A great many people view HTML-coded emails, and not unreasonably IMO, as poor security, since AFAIK they can contain little ride-along malware poison pills buried in their code. I know a lot of people who won't even open HTML-encoded emails, and I can't tell them they're wrong.

I got no joy about this so I opened an issue for it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/86 A fix would be lovely; this is actually causing me some pain. Even just a verification that others see it (it's pretty simple to reproduce) would be nice. Cheers!

Re: [Evolution] Evolution 3.28.1: Incorrect quoting of text emails
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:amd642.20.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 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:amd642.4.11-3ubuntu3 ii libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev:amd64 2.4.11-3ubuntu3 On Sun, 2018-06-17 at 18:10 -0400, Paul Smith wrote: > Hi all; I recently upgraded my system to Ubuntu 18.04 which provides > Evolution 3.28.1 (from Evolution 3.26). > > I've noticed an annoying issue: quoting of quoted messages is broken > when replying to plain text email in HTML mode.
