Wild guess: the E package threw away the text/plain alternative and
let you edit text/html.  For sending, it took the text/html stuff
that you edited and sent a text/plain alternative of it.

You might wish to test it by replying to a message which has aaaaa in
the text/plain and bbbb in the text/html alternative :-)
