I can't do this because of privacy reasons. I looked at the source code of one of these mails and can provide some (hopefully) important parts here:

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Content-Type: text/plain;

---------------8<---------------

In the text the ellipsis is encoded with "=85", e.g. like this:

> Where do you see the rectangle? In the composer?
Yes.

> What is the charset of the original mail?
iso-8859-1

> Does changing fonts help?
No. In fact, the composer seems to ignore font settings completely and changes to "Quoted Text - First Level" are only possible regarding font style and size but are lost when the configuration dialog is closed. Nice, everywhere I go I run into bugs...
