Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by tracing how replies build quoted content, including the Links section and HTML/plain-text selection, then compare the generated reply with GitHub's quoted-reply requirements. Done means GitHub notifications no longer include the original notification as posted content while ordinary replies retain their intended quoting behavior.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When replying to email notifications from GitHub, the original notification gets posted along with the new message.
GitHub tries to remove quoted replies to avoid this, but it seems like the format Nextcloud Mail produces is not compatible.
Describe the solution you'd like
Adjust the quote format to be compatible with GitHub's parser.
I think the problems are:
- This
Links:section being created below the quoted content - The editor using HTML because the notification was HTML, despite me having plain text set as preferred
Describe alternatives you've considered
Detect Reply-to: *@reply.github.com, List-ID: * <*.github.com>, or some other indicator, and automatically disable sending the quote as a special case.
