It really ought to have a check box (default off) for WYSYWYG formatting (no HTML).

And I still don't see why the original post has to be included in the new reply page. IMHO, better an option to cause a new window to be spawned when replying, and where the window goes away when Post is hit.

I'd like to auto-detect HTML, or rather the lack of HTML, and then do the WYSYWYG thing.

The original comment is included in the form because spawning a new window is not an option: it confuses people and some limited browsers cannot spawn windows (WebTV.) If the inclusion of the original comment proves to be a bother, I'll make it an option.

I've never seen that work smoothly.
