I don’t know if Benny has any explanation for this behaviour.
If you use the "Embed" functionality of the MailMate composer and
reply to a HTML message, MailMate starts the reply message with a
pristine full copy of the original message's HTML. If you do any
editing that requires modification of that object or simply a fresh
rendering of the HTML that MailMate generates itself, the embedded
message can get redrawn differently than it was when initially
starting the composition. I'm unsure *WHY* that redrawing results in
the appearance changing, nut I have watched it happen.
MailMate does not allow the user to edit the original HTML. *If* the
user tries to do that then it's converted to plain text (or an existing
plain text alternative is used). The end result might still be an HTML
email if Markdown is used, an HTML signature is used, or all outgoing
emails are styled (an option in the Composer preferences pane). For most
emails this is fine and the end result is going to be a cleaner email
(all of it generated by MailMate). Embedding HTML is primarily useful
for emails with heavy use of styling (most often some kind of marketing
emails).
In other words, it's fine to force MailMate to drop the embedded HTML
when it's not really needed. Using in-between replies, as I do, forces
this to almost always happen.
