RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Milan Crha 2018-09-03 12:12:00 UTC
See downstream bug:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/86

If I receive a plain text email which contains some quoted text using standard quoting methods ">" so that it looks like this:

> here is a quote

and here is a response

Then when I reply to this message with my Composer preferences set to Use HTML by default, then all the quoting disappears from the email. It's as if the person I'm replying to wrote all the text. This is true regardless of whether I reply to the entire message or just select part of the message (that contains quoted text).

If I don't have Use HTML set then the plain-text reply is properly quoted (and I can switch to HTML mode and it stays properly quoted).

For example, if I replied to the above email with "Use HTML" set I'd see this in my composer window (except in HTML of course):

> here is a quote
>
> and here is a response

Note how the original quote has only one level of quoting deep instead of two; I would expect this:

> > here is a quote
>
> and here is a response
