Thanks for the example (off list). MailMate behaves as expected since 
what you see is what really is in the plain text body part of the 
original email. In other words, it's a bug in the sending email client.

If you use the HTML embedding feature of MailMate then it doesn't matter 
much, because your correspondent is unlikely to see the plain text part 
of your reply. If you don't use embedding then it would be better for 
you (in this case) if MailMate based the plain text of the message on a 
conversion of the HTML, but it's not currently possible to force 
MailMate to do that.
