STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Receive a text mail with spaces characters after quote character. Like that:

> I feel this algorithm complex. I believe I would have written
> something like:
>
>     if (!ctxt->uart_next_frame_ready)
>         uart_read(ctxt);

OBSERVED RESULT

The spaces after '>' are ignored (see screenshot).

Notes:
  - Kmail behaves as expected if several '>' are used
  - I have checked the spaces are still there by looking at the source of the mail
  - The spaces are at the right pace when I reply to the mail.
Comment 1 Jerôme Pouiller 2024-01-17 09:47:19 UTC 
The HTML result is different if one quote or several '>' are used.

With one quote:
    <div dir="ltr"><span class="quotemarks">&gt;      </span><font color="#209150">if

With two quotes (in a further reply):
    <div dir="ltr"><span class="quotemarks">&gt;&gt; </span><font color="#1d2791">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if
