*must* is the wrong word here. This is a user preference, must implies a 
hard requirement, which this isn't that. The majority of mobile email 
clients will start the reply above the message.

Anyway this will be configurable in the 0.6 release. You will have the 
option to default to one of

- before quoted message
- after quoted message
- reply inline (user interaction selects start position)

All *actual* lines are in fact marked with '> ' this is a simple 
word-wrapping issue in the composer. The sent message will display the 
cited text correctly.

What mobile email client has Up, Down and Ctrl keys?
