LN did post in text mode. Perhaps your email or news client is unable to 
deal with standard multipart/alternative attachments? If that's the 
case, I sympathise with your pain, but it's 2014 not 1994 and you ought 
to stop blaming the poster for your poor tools. Any email client which 
cannot reply to and quote from the text/plain part of a multipart 
message is too crappy for words. That's basic functionality.

If you absolutely cannot or will not upgrade to a proper client, have 
you considered copying the original text before replying, pasting it 
into your reply, and manually adding quote markers?
