Subject: evolution: Empty reply quotation for mixed plain/HTML messages
Package: evolution
Version: 2.30.3-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Dear Debian folks,


quoting from the upstream report [1].

	Having set in Mail Preferences, HTML Messages tab:
		 [x] Show suppressed HTML parts as attachments

		 [ Show plain text if present | v ]

	and in Composer Preferences, 
		 [ ] Format messages as HTML
		 ...
		 Reply style: [ Quoted | v ]


	then using the attached message and replying to it will create an empty body,
	with no quotation - body will contain only a line:
		 On Wed, 2010-09-08 at 13:22 +0200, zyx wrote:
	and nothing else. This is doing it either when the message preview is on, or
	from a message window (double-clicking on the message itself), otherwise it
	does the correct thing too (with no preview pane).

	Unchecking "Show suppressed HTML parts as attachments" will let this work as
	expected with a preview pane too.

I am opening a ticket in the Debian BTS because I think this issue should be fixed before the release of Squeeze.


Thanks,

Paul
