Evolution failed to maintain the message formatting while replying back the mail message

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-18

How reproducible:

I was using evolution-mapi plugins

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the attachment and extract it.
2. Import the mbox file into Evolution.
3. Observe how beautifully evolution showing the message.
4. Now press "Reply" button.
5. Observe the message style format is lost.
   In composer preference the "Reply style" was "Quoted".
   Even changing to "inline(Outlook style)" does not help

Actual results:
Evolution failed to maintain the message formatting while replying back the mail message

Expected results:
Evolution should maintain the message formatting while replying back the mail message.

Thanks for a bug report. There is no easy fix for this, the ongoing effort to use WebKit instead of GtkHTML (the later doesn't know styles at all, it's just a simple HTML widget), but it's not trivial. Feel free to join [1] and listen for changes. You may also try to search Gnome's bugzilla for [webkit-composer] bugs, like here [2].
