This is the new (well, from earlier this year) Google interface. If
you just hit the reply button, your reply will not contain any quoted
material unless you put it in manually. If you want the full-featured
reply Hit "show options", THEN hit "reply" and you will get a reply
window with the full quoted text of the post your are replying to.

Piece of cake once you know where to find it.
