As an example, please consider Eli Zaretskii's reply to my comment on MinGW ticket #42561. Notice how, within the quoted content from my original comment, all formatting markup is displayed literally, without interpretation. Consequently, all structure within the quote is destroyed — particularly in the case of boxed out code blocks and lists, (a numbered list in this case, but bullet lists are similarly affected) — and the entire content of the quote is coalesced into a single contiguous paragraph; this renders the quoted content effectively unintelligible.
