quoted text not properly displayed in 10.5.2.1 (Halloween)
 
I'm pretty sure this is a new problem in the most recent update.

Even today, I correspond with some people using plain text. When they reply, with quoted text prefixed by greater-than signs, TB does not display the prefix, and I have to figure out what's quoted and what's new from context.

As an example, in a message a received a few minutes ago, the last header and start of message in the source are

You could have a look at "Options | Preferences | Viewer/Editor | Profile Layout" and then see if you notice anything strange about the items named 'Quotation prefix' (odd and even) -- but it does sound more like a bug to me, that you may want to report to the developers so they can fix it (See the Support menu near the top of this page).

Thanks. I did report it, and the place to get relief is close: Options | Preferences | Viewer/Editor |"Viw plain text messages using". Change from Rich Text / HTML Viewer to Plain Text Viewer. This is fine for me, and I was not previously aware of the option. Of course, it's still a bug in the Rich Text Viewer, but that won't affect me for the foreseeable future.
