sample message for reproducing problem

Bug 756883 is a request for a setting to have evolution _not_ line wrap quoted messages in replies as that mangles things like patches that are inlined in the mail.

One of the proffered workarounds was to select the quoted text and switch it to be "Preformatted", but that leaves the resulting quoted message with spurious '>' characters sprinkled all over it.

I'm running evolution-3.16.5-3.fc22.x86_64 from Fedora. To reproduce, import the attached message into your mailbox. Select the imported message and click the "Reply" button. You'll notice that some of the C comments in the quoted reply are now mangled due to line wrapping. Hit ctrl-a to select all, and then change the paragraph style from "Normal" to "Preformatted". Many of the functions will now have spurious '>' characters in them. For example:

> +static inline void
> +lease_notifier_chain_init(void)
> +{
> +> 	> srcu_init_notifier_head(&lease_notifier_chain);
> +}
> +
> +static inline void
> +setlease_notifier(long arg, struct file_lock *lease)
> +{
> +> 	> if (arg != F_UNLCK)
> +> 	> 	> srcu_notifier_call_chain(&lease_notifier_chain, arg, lease);
> +}
> +#else /* !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SRCU) */
> +static inline void
