Research direction
Start by reproducing issue #6069 with the quoted email content and compare the rendered quote blocks with the expected behavior. Trace the email quoting or parsing entry point responsible for splitting the quoted block. Done means the entire quoted section remains together and the replied text is displayed as a distinct block.
