Hi folks,
I know that email quoting is something of a disaster zone,

something...

but I just ran
into a case where I had to use MHonArc to get the actual semantic content
of a message.
Compare
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tram/7b84m3qXldrZfy07q-beYM5Vb6c
with
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tram/current/msg02655.html
the latter uses horizontal whitespace to indicate quoted text, apparently
via a <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:35.4pt"> HTML element (the
accompanying text/plain component fails to have any quoting indication at
all). Is mailarchive preferring the text/plain component

yes, this.

or does it just
not know to render the margin-left style (or am I sufficiently ignorant in
these matters that my conjectures are nonsense)?

Thanks again for a specific report.
