The problem was caused by my use of Robert Fenk's excellent vm-pine
patch. He adds in a new variable 'vm-included-mime-types-list that
lists what MIME types to include in a reply/follow-up. 

After adding "text/html" to the list, the original behavior is
restored and the proper text is now included.

However, the included text is the raw HTML. It still would be nice if
there were an option to could convert the text to ascii so one can
read and edit the included text while composing one's reply.

Such a feature would also have the added benefit of stopping the
spread of awful html mail by converting it to text :)
