Complex HTML emails are best handled using “Message ▸ Forward as 
Attachment” or “Message ▸ Redirect”. Part of the reason is that 
MailMate only has a plain text composer and part of the reason is that 
forwarding HTML emails inline is a bit of a trial-and-error problem 
(even for HTML capable email clients). I do have a plan to improve the 
behavior of MailMate to allow embedding the original HTML of the 
replied/forwarded message, but apparently I keep postponing this -- 
probably because I'm afraid it's going to be an infinitely big “can of 
worms” :-)
