mails. Where I work we use office.com, so when I reply an email from one of<br>
my colleagues, the vertical line for quoted text is not displayed unless I<br>
jump to very bottom of the email and I modify my signature. Something so<br>
stupid to add an space and then remove it.<br>

I don’t know if Benny has any explanation for this behaviour.</p>

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.</p>

<p dir="auto">MailMate does not allow the user to edit the original HTML. <em>If</em> 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).</p>
<p dir="auto">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.</p>
