Idea/Improvement: Wrap reply quote text in a blockquote instead of div

Hi

Through exploring different extensions for customizing quote headers, I noticed differences in approach of how extensions wrap the quote header. The difference in approach, I believe, makes a significant difference in outcome of how the final email body is displayed on some email clients.

Observation:

• Through wrapping the quote in a div Advanced Composer makes the replied quote display in the original message body portion depending on the client.

• Through wrapping the quote in a blockquote with 0 margins: the ReplyWithHeader extension makes the replied **quote hidden "under a "show quoted text" **in all clients:

Advanced Composer	ReplyWithHeading
Reply quote div implementation	Reply quote blockquote implementation
div type="cite" cite="mid:c0883f35-62ab-42fd-83d0-10bc81e08207@gmail.com">...</div	<blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:69f373cc-ae95-4586-ad69-87827f8a3f49@gmail.com" style="border:none !important; padding-left:0px !important; margin-left:0px !important;">...</blockquote>
Quote recognized in some email clients as quote, in others as original message body	Quote recognized in all email clients as quote

Proposition:

It would be really cool for a new setting in Advanced Composer that gives the user the option to choose between:

• "minimal" quotes (using a blockquote implementation)
• "expanded" quotes (using the current div implementation). OR Completely switch to the blockquote with 0 margin implementation.

More details:

• EmClient is an example of an email client that has the behavior I'm talking about. You can also see this behavior in Thunderbird if you install the Thunderbird Conversations extension (scrolling through past messages is very frustrating and sometimes impossible as the whole thread is in the original message body and thus expanded).

• My understanding is that certain clients don't recognize div style cites as reply quotes but do recognize blockquote cites as reply quotes, leading them to incorrectly place the reply quotes in the original message body area.

• A lot of clients can handle the div style, Advanced Composer implementation just fine, Gmail, Outlook and Apple mail (on desktop) all hide the reply quote under a "show quoted text" button when using Advanced Composer It kind of seems that this the de-facto standard.

• I do see some practically for having the reply quote placed in the original message body sometimes. Sometimes you want to explicitly have the recipient see what you're replying to.

Kind regards,
