            Bug ID: 303380
          Severity: normal
           Version: 4.8.4
          Priority: NOR

           Summary: switching from html to plain in replies loses
                    quotation
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: matish at gmail.com
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: composer
           Product: kmail2

When replying to an HTML email, if "reply using HTML if present" is checked,
the new email contains the original one properly quoted in HTML. If at this
point the user switches to plain text, the original email is not quoted any
more. So, if the user wants to reply to an HTML email he has to add the '>'
characters manually. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select any received HTML email
2. Click on Reply
3. Click on Options --> Formatting (HTML)
4. Click on Lose formatting
Actual Results:  
I know you clicked on Lose formatting, but I think the fact that the included
message was quoted should be retained. 

Expected Results:  
It should change it from the HTML-style quotation to the plain one. Otherwise
the user has to add the '>' characters manually every time.
