I really don't want an email client that mangles my replies in any other way 
than setting '>' in front of quotations. Most times software tries to guess 
what you want done it fails miserably.

That being said my email client actually has the feature of only quoting the 
text I have marked, but mostly I find it more convenient to trim the messages 
myself, something that I found impossible to do on the Android mail client, 
and I've several times given up sending an email, because I didn't want to 
send an unholy mess.

I'm looking forward to seeing that :-)
