Hmm. I'm sure I tried that, but yes that works! Thanks.

Yes, I do that but it's too easy to forget ...

Which is why I quote selectively like we're doing here. It's not so much a 
problem on mailing lists anyway, which are more often than not text only and 
people are generally more aware that they are engaging in a 'conversation' 
and trim their quotes accordingly. But in day-to-day work mail it's not 
lack of context that's a problem - it's too much context.

That seems to be a bit buggy here - hence my initiating this thread. When 
I reply to a message with a lot of HTML in it and then delete the content 
I don't need, MM seems to leave bits of HTML behind in the markdown preview 
window that won't go away. It may be just a display bug that wouldn't actually 
get sent, but irritating nevertheless ...

Cheers
