Bill covered the issue of “format=flowed” in a separate answer, but 
you are probably also close to an explanation of what Sherif 
experiences. MailMate always uses the plain text body part of a message 
to create the reply (since the composer in MailMate is for plain text 
only). This is not ideal for Gmail messages since their plain text body 
parts do not use “format=flowed”. Instead, paragraphs are 
hard-wrapped. This is not the case for the HTML body part of these 
messages.

There is no easy fix for this, but I'm aware of the problem.
