emailed in blog comments display incorrectly

[Nat Katin-Borland]

Blog comments that are emailed into a community should only display the new text. I have 2 examples in the screenshot: comment 1 is from gmail, comment 2 is from OSI's Outlook server. Each display a bit differently.

As requested, I'm assigning to you.

Chris, I'll put this as a next-week kind of thing. Basically, we have some flaws in the text extractor.

Paul or Nat,

Could one of you attach the text of a reply from Outlook in a .txt file?

Thanks!
Chris

I don't have Outlook available to do so. Nat, can you do so?

I have checked in code that will attempt to remove the replies from various email clients. This code, is, however, pretty fragile. If this sort of thing comes up again in the future I wonder if a more robust and low tech solution might simply be a message to the user to delete anything from their reply that they don't want to end up on the blog.
