Replying to a MailMate-generated Markdown message should work without 
problems, but in general you are right. Replying to HTML messages does 
not work well.

It would be possible (if the user prefers top-posting), but it's not 
certain that all receiving email clients/services would handle it well. 
“Forward as Attachment” is also often not an ideal solution when 
forwarding.

I'm still considering various solutions to this problem. There is no 
perfect solution, but hopefully I'll come up with something that works 
better than it does now.
