FWIW, as a lone Eudora user in a pond of Outlookers, I find Eudora's HTML
rendering of messages where people have used Outlook's "reply inline using
a different color" to be slightly less hideous than Outlook's idea on how
to demontstrate that it is not trivial to make a legible rendering of this
particular function in ASCII.
Even if you want to argue that using this Outlook function makes the sender
look stupid, there's value for me as the recipient in seeing the HTML
rendering and not the ASCII rendering.
Small data point.
