When using "reply" or "+quote "

as cut-pasted f , or when 'quote/reply'
E = 0.5* [LacIac2 + LdcIdc2]

No. Depends on which editor. "Green bar" in "reply" works fine, will quote all day long; quote latex(?) or one (or more) of the other "Cadillacs" and the content turns back to a pumpkin.

The highlight-to-quote feature does copy the formatting, which is why it also doesn't copy equations well.
 
I remember saying something about the code editor versus the WYSIWTF-editor. The right one keeps formatting (and formulas and everything else) with "Reply" and "+Quote".
 
well there's a first

i highlighted and hit 'reply'
sub/superscript were preserved today

That's an image that you quote here. The image won't change. Here are actual sub- and supscripts for testing purposes:

normalsubnormalsupnormal

And one formula: ##normal_{sub}normal^{sup}normal##.

Pages do not matter.
