User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4 Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.18 (20081105) When somone using Outlook sends an mail to another person using Thunderbird and he answers inline, the answer becomes extremely confusing because the text is mixed up with the initial text with no graphical separation. (similar font, same color, same formatting, …) Thunderbird replies to mails using: <blockquote cite="mid:000301c8f32a$c493dda0$4dbb98e0$@dias@inovaprime.com" type="cite"> While Outlook replies them using: <div style=3D'border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0cm 0cm = 0cm 4.0pt'> According to MSFT (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338201.aspx#Word2007MailHTMLandCSS_Full), Outlook supports the <blockquote> element but not the "type" attribute. On any case, it seems to be "blockquote" definition causing the quoted text to not appear properly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reply to an email 2. Look at the source of the reply and notice that type="cite" is used 3. Read it in Outlook and confirm the formatting will be wrong Actual Results: Cite formatting is wrong in Outlook. Expected Results: Cite formatting is ok in Outlook.
