Description
Feature Request
Inside the thread you, you don't really need the previous email's text as you can simply expand it there.
The exception would be inline replies. Then we should show the original text.
Technically HTML messages are a challenge. We don't render them directly, but via an iframe. So the HTML has to be possibly rewritten to achive this. This could be a hard and error-prone task.
Summary
Collapse/hide quoted text in plain text emails.
See https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/issues/3639 for plain text emails.
