But the text part of a HTML message is by far the better formatted and "quotable" part than the HTML part, being stripped and re-formatted by Roundcube or any other MUA. See the newsletter that I attached to my original post, the quote is just ridiculous.
I do not agree. I think it's better to quote on reply the same content we see when previewing the message. So, if we preview in HTML we use html part, if in text we use text part. I saw many messages that had totally different text part or even empty (but existing).
That's an argument. Taken.
If someone create a patch which implements an option to change this behaviour via user preferences, we would likely accept it, however.
In the meantime I think that such an option isn't even needed. We would "just" (yeah, I know...) need this button which switches between plain text and HTML part (given that both parts do exist at all), and the reply goes to the part which has been viewed last.
Another issue is in which style (HTML or text) the reply (and the quote!) will be created. The default should be that HTML parts will be quoted and replied in HTML style, and that plain text parts will be quoted and replied in plain text - but there should be an option to change the style BEFORE the message is being quoted and edited (without being forced to change and reset the user config).
Sounds pretty complex, I know...
