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.
