Hello there, after introducing the new component for the message editor, may I recall the request to properly use the <blockquote> tag to enclose quotes instead of building complicated tables for it, which no other email client can deal with. The first step is indispensable: to display <blockquote>'d sections as such - at least with a left margin and possibly a vertical bar on the left. See bug tracker issue #1216. This is an absolute must. I once had the embarassing case for me that in an e-mail exchange, I got a message which quoted some text from my previous message, which were tagged with a <blockquote> and differed from the text of the sender by only 1 additional margin by one space character, hardly visible. I took the quoted text by me as having been written by my correspondent, and created an embarassement for me by responding this way.... A proper presentation of the <blockquote>'d text would have avoided this. The second step is to replace using <table><tr><td>quoting in The Bat!</td></tr></table> with <blockquote>quoting in The Bat!</blockquote> which is much simpler and easer to handle in re-re-quotes. See bug tracker issue #1217. See https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_blockquote.asp on the <blockquote> tag.
See this example from the above mentioned message of a simple <blockquote> re-quoting a <table> formatted quoted by The Bat! in my message my correspondent replied to: =============== <blockquote cite="mid:814777889.20151217162...@willms-edv.de" type="cite"> <title>Re: Papyrus Autor 8 ist da</title> <span style=" font-family:'Cambria'; font-size: 12pt;">Guten Tag Ulli Ramps,<br> <br>  danke, daà Sie immer noch an mich denken (oder wenigstens Ihre Datenbank tut es), und für die Info zu Papyrus Autor 8. <br> <br> am Donnerstag, 17. Dezember 2015 um 00:07 schrieben Sie:<br> <br> </span> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td width="2" bgcolor="#0000ff"><br> </td> <td> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> <ul style="text-indent: 0px; margin-left: 40px; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: disc;"> <li class="rvps0"><span style=" font-family:'cambria'; font-size: 12pt;">Verbesserter <b>eBook</b>-Export mit sofortiger <b>Vorschau</b>.</span></li> </ul> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <br> <br> <span style=" font-family:'Cambria'; font-size: 12pt;">   Das interessiert mich. Produziert das das EPUBs? </span></blockquote> Ja.<br> ================================== And how a simply <blockquote> of my text in the same message looked like: ====================== <blockquote cite="mid:814777889.20151217162...@willms-edv.de" type="cite"><span style=" font-family:'Cambria'; font-size: 12pt;">Version 2 oder 3 oder wahlweise? </span></blockquote> Nein, V.2. V.3 hat noch zu geringe Verbreitung unter den Readern.<br> ================= Please do something ... One caveat: This requires to implement means to split a <blockquote> into two, to recreate the parameters of the opening <blockquote> and to properly separate other block elements which might become separated by the splitting of the blockquote element, e.g. a <p> element.
