Hi,
Often, in replying to HTML messages, it is impossible to insert an inline reply throughout the message, if I try type anything, even through enters, backspaces, deletes, whatever, it ends up being inside the last post, making it appear to have been said by the person I reply to, this was reported by many users and I can't see a way around it.
Shouldnt the default html editor see a local keyboard line input as a break and insert of new content?
Users are getting sick of being told to covert message to text so they can sanely reply.
Using current stable release, personally checked using chrome and firefox on linux, firefox and IE on Win7, IE and FF on Win XP. Most of these are to gmail users, but not all, and most, but not all, are multiple quoted messages (how users never bother to trim and end up with quotes to quotes to quotes to quotes, etc)
As a workaround, you can click on the little blue"HTML" button in the tool bar.
This takes you to raw HTML markup mode where you can fix the problem by adding a bit of text outside of the quote elements (where the regular editor is not allowing you to type anything).
Then go back to the WYSIWYG mode where you can continue the new text.
USERS WHO ARE TOLD TO SWITCH TO TEXT ARE BEING BADLY ADVISED.
This idiotic little dance is a unifying theme of all HTML editors pretty much, on and off the web. I've had to do this kind of thing in every web forum I've ever been in as well as in desktop HTML editors like Kompozer.

That's fine for technically minded, but never assume all, or even the majority are. Try expecting an 85yo to do all that to work around it.
my advice to them, is to install a real client, or even a half real client like thunderbird :)

There's a "Block Quote" button in HTML editor. Use it after you press Enter and you're in empty quoted line. That should split the quoting block.
