It would be great to strip out the pre-existing content and only post the body of the new email.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the email parsing library used by Firestorm (likely a mail library like Bamboo or similar). Look for functions that extract the plain text body and then implement logic to remove quoted replies (e.g., by detecting lines starting with '>' or 'On ... wrote:'). Add tests and ensure the stripped content is used when posting via email.
