Hi Clayton, no, by [REPLY] I didn't mean change the subject line. I'd find
it hard myself to keep track of messages if the subject kept changing. I
can't seem to find the setting, as it isn't obvious in the settings page or
Labs page, for setting the colour I see replies in, so I find it hard to
distinguish them unless there's a gap inbetween the original text and actual
reply from someone in the thread. All the text seems black to me but my Mum
tells me that the replies I get back from people are in dark purple and I'd
like to change them to bright red or something similar so I can see them.
I've put it forward as a change to Google, so we'll see if anything comes
from it.
Ah, OK, now I know what you're talking about.
Gmail (by default) shows that quoted text in purple, and usually shows
the > prefix on each line as well.... so the main indicator of a quote
vs a reply is the > prefix.
If you want to tinker with your local colors, you can do this via the
Themes (in Settings). Some prebuilt themes do not use the purple
color... or, you can design your own color scheme. You can set GMail to
use red or whatever color you prefer for quoted text.
Ray very kindly experimented with me yesterday by manually putting in
[REPLY] to every line that he wrote, so I was just looking for a quicker
way.
That is impractical in the long run since everyone would have to
remember to prefix [REPLY]... that won't happen :-) We're all too
forgetful.
