+Edit in Word: only the user's own part goes to Word; signature + quoted message are re-attached verbatim
+
+html-to-docx flattens <blockquote> to plain paragraphs and mammoth brings back
+only <p>/<a>/<br>, so a reply came home with the quoted message's formatting
+gone and the bordered signature reduced to two lines. splitWordEditable()
+(client/compose/compose.ts) cuts the body at the signature rule
+(hr.mailx-sig-rule, legacy hr[style*=3cm]) or div.reply; the head goes to
+Word, the tail is taken from the editor at apply time and appended unchanged.
+Signature rule now carries class="mailx-sig-rule".

   one tick after paste; moves the caret just after (or before) the anchor when only whitespace/U+FEFF
   separates it from the edge. Quill's typed path NOT covered (not the configured editor).
 - Ships as rmfmail 1.2.326 via rebuild.cmd (running). Bob must restart the daemon for the new bundle.

+## Follow-on (~19:40): Edit in Word lost the quoted message's formatting
+- Cause: whole body → html-to-docx (flattens blockquote) → Word → mammoth (only p/a/br back).
+- Fix (v1.2.327, publishing): `splitWordEditable()` in client/compose/compose.ts — Word gets only the
+  part above the signature rule (`hr.mailx-sig-rule`, legacy `hr[style*=3cm]`) or `div.reply`; the
+  tail is re-read from the editor at apply time and appended unchanged.
+- OPEN (Bob's direction): replace mammoth on the return path with his `y:\dev\utils\whts` converter.
+  whts today = whole-document CLI (`converter(docPath)` writes files, uses globals/logger/drive
+  paths, emits CSS classes via styleToClass, pulls sql/itemgen/pdf deps). Needs a lean exported
+  `docxToHtml()` core with inline styles before rmfmail can import it. Not touched — separate project.
+- Checked: bundled TinyMCE 8.8.2 has NO Word-HTML cleaner (that is PowerPaste, paid); only the
+  generic paste path and `mceInsertClipboardContent`.
