[webkit-dev] WebView editing in Mail

When composing a reply in Apple Mail, if the user types Return inside the
quoted message, the quoted content is broken in two parts, the cursor is
inserted in-between and any character typed by the user is no longer part of
the quoted content.

I would like to implement this behavior in an editor.

So far, I found that:
- The quoted content must be a BLOCKQUOTE with TYPE="cite".
- WebView implements a category called WebViewEditingInMail that defines 4
methods, one of which is _insertNewlineInQuotedContent which calls
insertParagraphSeparatorInQuotedContent.

What is the proper way to implement this: should I implement
shouldInsertText and call _insertNewlineInQuotedContent when the text is
"\n", or does Apple Mail has some other way to let the WebKit know when to
insert a paragraph separator?
