Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

Evolution has a great feature where you can reply to a small part of an
email by selecting only the needed part and using the reply function.
This works very well for plain text emails, but for HTML emails the
selected part becomes the quoted part of a new HTML email, but all the
line breaks of the original message (new lines, <br/> tags) are stripped
off so you see the original email as one long line - regardless of how
many lines or paragraphs the selected text contains.

This makes replying to long HTML messages a tedious process where I have
to debate if I rather select the text I want to reply to and then spend
time putting back the line breaks where I remember them to be, or just
reply to everything and edit away what I don't need.
