This is called "smart reply". And the same method exists for forwarding mails, it is called "smart forwarding".

So: what's the deal with the N900?
Normal reply (everything is transmitted to the server) and smart forwarding.

Let me explain the rationale behind. Maemo mail client supports quoting (you put your answers inline). And if smart reply is in use you can only support top posting (no inline comments). So, it has been decided to drop smart reply support and leave the Maemo mail client unmodified.

But when you forward the mail, smart forwarding is used.
