Again, look through your preferences, and see if there are options
about hiding/muting/suppressing quoted text.  Various mail programs
have that option.

This email starts off with a line saying the date, time, and your name,
quotes one paragraph from you before my reply, and quotes one more
paragraph from you between the next one where I started with "Also,"
and the next I started with "My messages".

Also, leave a blank line between quotes and your replies.  It is very
hard to read mail when everything is just one huge block.

My messages are sent as plain text.  And it was sent as 7-bit text. 
So, somewhere between me and you it has been converted.

Various mail servers try to be helpful doing that (turning things from
8-bit to 7-bit, vice versa, quoted-printable, base 64) when it's mostly
not necessary, and sometimes cause problems, when they bugger it up. 
Whereas a human would have been able to cope with an odd character
error here and there.

And I think Thunderbird creates a HTML render on the fly, but doesn't
change the content as it came in.
