I did consider doing this but decided against it on the basis that
the incoming mail from the previous sender was unpredictable. If
it included, for example, a list of a few short sentences or bullet
points these would all be combined into one long paragraph in the
reply.
If others also feel this would be desirable I will look at implementing
it with an updated patch.
Many thanks,
Anthony
