with nothing but the "[e-mail] wrote:"

The bud ID on the above URL is #2

I'm seeing the same for

Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=X-UNKNOWN

on Win2k using M0.9.9 (I'll have a look at it later with a recent nightly).

not wanting to create an additional bug report....  the latest 1.0 rc2 release
exhibits similar behavior.

linux 2.2.19
mozilla build date 2002051115

replying to a mail message opens a composer window but 
1) the "to" address is blank and is not automatically populated with the
original message's "reply-to" address
2) there is no original message in the composition window

to my knowledge, the expected behavior of having the "to" address appear in the
proper place and the replied message in the composition window has worked fine
in 0.9.9 and 1.0 rc1 versions.

the data MIME give to the message compose is not UTF8. Then msg compose failed
converting it to UCS2 because of the £ character, therefore nothing get append
to the message body.

workaround: set a charset to ISO-8859-1 (or whatever appropriate) by charset
menu before reply.

bug 140360 is about the conversion error handling improvment, mark as a dup.
