Details

When viewing a message containing quoted text, the kind with "> " at the
beginning of each line, Mozilla changes the display to a vertical bar. There
does not appear to be any option to see the message as it was actually written.

An annoying "feature" of some MUAs is that they insist on displaying only the
most worthless version of a message. If a message is marked
"multipart/alternative" and the alternatives are plain text and HTML, these MUAs
always show the HTML and have no option to view the plain text. Mozilla should
not make that mistake.
