If the original email is HTML formatted then this sort of thing happens - and more specifically it's to do with the table and div structure. Basically if the text is part of a table or a div container, then when you add text to it, the HTML interpreter of the editor still thinks the text you've added is part of that container and so puts a quote marker in front. The annoying thing is that this still happens even if you aren't replying using HTML. > > What is the reason for this behaviour and how can I get around it? > The underlying reason for it is that the editor is "sub-optimal" - I think there have been long term plans to replace it, but I don't know how far that is advanced. As a work around you can highlight the text that you want to reply to in the original email, then hit reply. This will only copy the text without the underlying HTML formatting.
