I have the same problem.
I sit there and manually add the quoting.
I wish people would realise the inconvenience they are imposing on others
when they use anything but plain text in email.

otoh: html would not necessarily be evil if M$'s mail clients were either a)
better, or b) open source so that people could quickly make it better.

Even when I don't want to convert but just simply reply to an html mail,
most of the time the stupid thing insists on making my new added reply text
part of the quote! I end up converting anyway just to break out of the
stupid quote formatter.
It's probably because I'm trying to add text to the end of the message
instead of the top, and because outhouse thinks top-posting is sane, the
very last line of the message is a quoted line, and when you start on a
quoted line and add more, it thinks you want to grow that block. stupid
stupid stupid.
