concerning the empty lines, this *might* be emails sent by Outlook users 
that use HTML. Outlook's HTML is known to contain nonsense codes that 
causes lots of blank lines when replying (I think the root cause is some 
sort of empty line or paragraph that is supposed to have a line height 
of zero in Outlook but cannot be converted properly into the HTML editor 
Horde uses).

If this is indeed the problem you are facing, you may want to try some 
code that Joao S Veiga shared on the Horde mailing list some 18 months 
ago:

The question mark thing, however, is not something I have encountered 
before, so I don't know about that.
