Description
I have just realized that GitHub displays wrong the comments that have been sent by email.
One sample would be https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/1765#issuecomment-63205580. I received the email message and only the first paragraph should be displayed as a comment (it contains the required `>` in the message). The other two paragraphs are the actual reply (they aren’t formatted as comments in the email message).
Another sample is https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/1612#issuecomment-59676779. In that case, the paragraphs after the last shown without expansion are considered comments. The original message has no comments in that paragraphs.
I think this is an important issue. Otherwise it is really hard to make a distinction between what has been replied and which the reply itself is.
