As you see the body starts with "Hi --". When I press "Reply" buttom the original content dissapears. I think it's matching "Hi --" as the signature symbol, that would be a bug since it must be a line just containing "--" (with no spaces or letters).

But in any other similar mail with content starting with "Hi --" I **do** see the content when replying. For example if I generate in Kmail a mail with body:

***********************
Hi --

blabla
blabla
***********************

and receive it, when pressing "Reply" I do see the content. Here the content format is:

Content-Type: text/plain;
  charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: inline


Maybe a problem with the content format of the first mail?
