Well, more like a less-than-optimal feature. When you select text in the 
message view then MailMate has to “convert” the selected part of the 
HTML to plain text. This does not work well for all messages (depending 
on the sending email client). When replying without a selection then 
MailMate uses the plain text body part which always works (since the 
formatting of plain text is, almost, standardized).
