Plain Txt Email Vs. HTML/Other -- Samsung Fascinate

[afillmore]

I don't like the way my phone replies to email messages and it's in plain text and includes "Person's Name wrote: blah blah blah"

Is there any way to change any of these settings? It looks like garbage. I'd like to be able to reply to an email message without embarrassing myself.

Why can't it work like all the other phones in the world? My co-worker has the AT&T version of the same phone (different name) and slightly different features. Makes me think this is a choice by VZW and not Samsung.

Can you please change the way this works? Why have a smart phone and active sync if we can only send email messages in plain text... ridiculous!
