Replying to other email

I'm building webmail with PhpMailer. I need advice about replaying to other email.

How to attach previous email? Should I simply attach it as a file - I think it's not good.

I prefer attach email text, but how? Using only blockquote? But what about previous mail's styles? I see in thunderbird blockquote with cite="mid:hash" attribute. What is it?

Maybe PhpMailer has some options regarding this?

It's generally pretty straightforward. Read this about how to deal with the headers (use addCustomHeader to set them) so that mail clients can identify it as a reply.

There's no particular standard for what to do with the body, though it's common to copy all the lines of the original body into the new message, preceded by >, though you could wrap it in a blockquote in HTML, or some other formatting. It's up to you what you do with attachments.
