The WebMail interface let's you do that, but that is not what is discussed
here (see the original message from Eugene).

On phones and Honeycomb tablet, no. The app gives "Reply Inline" and
"Include Original" control, and when both are active, the user is fooled
into thinking it would be sent in the text/plain, but it always seems to
send mixed.
