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

Research direction
Look into the email reply handling module in the Elixir/Phoenix backend, likely in lib/firestorm/.../email.ex or similar. Determine the format of quoted replies (e.g., lines starting with '>') and implement a function to strip them. Verify the logic with existing test fixtures or create new ones. Review the issue comments for any additional requirements from maintainers.
