   It looks like Mail.app adds an extra > before the "On... [name] wrote:" line. This is an excerpt from the email source:

   No, it=E2=80=99s just our mail being slow.

   Actually, the real problem might be the second and third lines from the bottom there - Apple Mail has formatted this URL and broken it up over multiple lines. But it hasn't added a > at the beginning of these lines. So email_reply_parser thinks that those lines are unquoted, and that the previous quoted section is an interleaved quote that shouldn't be hidden.

   That sounds fixable, but messy.
