Dear,

(Please keep me CC since I do not subscribe to the mailing list.)

Thank you for this great tool.

I reading all the emails from GNU Guix project via the Emacs frontend of
Notmuch.  Sometimes, the patches are attached inline and something like
that happens:

Therefore, all the highlighting of quotes is broken.  Because the
attached inline patch does not respect the open/close quote.  And worse
this misleading highlight is propagated to all the thread.

My questions are:

 - Is it possible to control the open/closing message per message?  Even
   when viewing all the thread.
 - Is it possible to globally turn off the highlight of quotes?

Thank you in advance for any comment or tips.

All the best,
simon
