This happened to me a few times a while ago as well... my hypothesis from the few emails i got were that some HTML messages seem to stuff around the character encoding.
When you have this problem, in the reply window, go to "Edit" => "Character Encoding" ... you will most likely find that its set to something weird. From memory, changing it to Unicode fixes the problem. simran. On Sat, 2006-01-28 at 06:36 -0600, Gregg Fowler wrote: > I tried to reply to an html message and the reply text was typed > backwards.
