Ah well, if people send html mails, it does it's own thing.

You can't really expect a mail client to fix other people's retarded quoting
...

You can at least reply nicely to proper emails - e.g. from this list.

People who send you HTML emails are unlikely to mind your quoting style.  In
fact, they are more likely to ask where your reply is, as they could well
look at the top and not see it.

There is a 'read all mail in plain text' option.   It doesn't correct
quoting, but it does help.
