When we quote an original msg (during a reply), we should carry over the information about the original data format (plaintext, format=flowed, HTML or whatever), so the recipient can perform the processing he like on it, e.g. displaying format=flowed text in a variable width font (even if quoted using HTML). Considering that 4.x' editor chokes on <div>s *sigh*, the best mothod is to add that info ass class to the <blockquote type=cite> around the quote. Implementation: - Get the node |InsertAs*Quotation| returns, QI to |nsIDOMElement|, if necessary, and insert the attribute directly to the DOM. - We currently don't have the format information anymore at this point. Carry it through the processing, where necessary.

This is IMO polish, so M20. Tell me, if you disagree (i.e. think, it shouldn't go in as late as M20).

Drawing in. Seems like M18 == nsbeta3, and this has to be fixed for N6.

Will checkin step 1 RSN: Removing the <div>, that we currently output, completely, without substitution, for quoting (e.g. what goes to the editor). Step 2 will be to readd this info as described above.

Fix for step one checked in.

no time left :(

Changing personal priorities. Giving away most of my bugs :-( (reassigning to default owner). I will still track these bugs closely. If you need my input, feel free to ask me. New owner: Please do *not* close these bugs (as WONTFIX or whatever you may find) unless they are fixed. Rather, reassign to <nobody@mozilla.org>, if you don't want to work on them.

This bug has been inactive for 2 years. Is there any chance of getting some interest in it? Not flowing quotes causes the mail interface to be considerably uglier than what was in 4.X.
