In Thunderbird, use Reply-List, rather than Reply-All, and it'll go to 
the right place.  Still worth checking, though.

I only see one message from Devyn, and it's not the one quoted here. 
But the one I do see is in plain text.  The safest way to tell (other 
than noticing that indentation randomly goes away, or that things are 
missing, or ...) is to view the source.

In Thunderbird, select the message, then View->MessageSource.  Then 
search in that for html.  Frequently there's two versions of the 
message, one text and one html.  What you want is a single version, text.
