NOTHING!!!!! I know exactly what you mean, as I follow much the same procedure as you when replying. On the incoming HTML message, select Message->Edit, which will change it to plain text. Then, highlight whichever part you want to copy into your reply and click Command+R (I actually click Command+Shift+R, but not sure why -- it might be an old habit that is no longer required), and the resulting reply will also include the attribution line at the top (provided you have set that up correctly in prefs.). If you want the original incoming message to revert to HTML, make sure you "do not" save it after changing to plain text, and then simply click any other message or close the window, and when you return to that message it will be in original HTML format again.
