Build Date & Platform Bug Found:
 Win32 commercial seamonkey build 1999-12-01-13-m12 installed on P166 win98
 Linux commercial seamonkey build 1999-12-01-13-m12 installed on P200 RedHat 6.1
 MacOS commercial seamonkey build 1999-12-01-13-m12 installed on G3 MacOS 8.6

Overview Description:
 I set my user preference to use a plain text editor as my default compose
window. I reply to a previously replied message that had the text quoted. The
reply message has a extra column of ">" under my name.  Example:

new text

This is not a display problem because if I view the same message in Communicator
4.7, it displays the same as 5.0. This problem occurs under POP and IMAP.

Steps to Reproduce:
0) Deleted my previous mozregistry file and my existing profile.
1) Launch Mozilla with the -mail parameter
2) Enter a profile name and continue.
   Messenger launches and the mail wizard appears.
3) Enter all the necessary information for a POP or IMAP account
4) Exit.
5) Edit my prefs.js file.  Add the user_pref line:
    user_pref("mail.identity.id1.compose_html", false);
6) Start Messenger again
7) Send a plain text message to yourself and an account that you can view
the page source of the message in Communicator 4.7
8) Retrieve the mail message
   It is a plain text message
9) Reply ALL to the message again.
   It is quoted with ">"
10) Send the message
11) Retrieve and view the mail message
    The ">" characters display as a blue bar.
12) Reply to the message again
    You see an extra column of quotes.

Actual Results:
The text is quoted but has an extra column of ">"

Expected Results:
I expected only one set of quotes

Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On:

Additional Information:
When I reply to a message a 2nd time, it looks like this.

Hi Again Peter,
As was the case with the other quoting bug...now that we are using the correct 
API calls, this also works as it should.
