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).
