Comment 3 for bug 739144

Might I *guess* (without having any experience with the code) that it was caused by the double-quoting in the email? The email is formatted like this:

X wrote:

> > etc
>
> One-level deep quote
> etc

My opinion

And the resulting comment was:

There is probably some code in Launchpad which detects one-level-deep quoting and cuts it out (because you don't want people who top-post to have the entire previous message included in the thread). For some reason, the fact that you have a double-quote followed by a single-quote must have confused it into thinking you were top-posting, and cut out everything below and including the one-level-deep quotes.
