As you can see, text/plain uses normal `>` for quotes. That makes me think that the problem is in Thunderbird. It should either take the text/plan part, and reply to that as though it were the only part it had received; or it should take the HTML part, and convert the quotes to text properly. Replying in HTML and then rendering it with only space indentations seems like a bug. Thunderbird certainly isn't exotic, but last time I used it it was definitely under-maintained. You're asking every person who sends an email to xen-devel to remember to take an action before sending the mail (or to send *all* mail as text/plain, even if it's not to xen-devel), because your MUA isn't handling the standard properly. Is that really reasonable? Couldn't you tell Thunderbird to ignore html and only render text/plain? -George

Obviously sending patches is a different matter; but for that I'll be using git-send-email. -George --0000000000009c70350658355b6f Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div dir=3D"ltr"><span style=3D"background-color:transpare= nt">On Tue, Aug 4, 2026 at 6:45=E2=80=AFPM J=C3=BCrgen Gro=C3=9F <<a hre= f=3D"mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>> wrote:</span></div><di= v class=3D"gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><blockquote class=3D"gmail_qu= ote" style=3D"margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,20= 4);padding-left:1ex"><br> P.S.: George, would it be possible to turn off HTML mails when sending to<b= r> =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0xen-devel?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I= see both a text/plain part and a text/html part in the mail I sent; isn= 9;t the presence of a text/plain version sufficient?</div><div><br></div><d= iv>Obviously sending patches is a different matter; but for that I'll b= e using git-send-email.</div><div><br></div><div>=C2=A0-George</div></div><= /div> --0000000000009c70350658355b6f--
