Re: A bit OT: Python prompts display as nested mail quotes in Thunderbird
They already ARE plain text (I don't know of anyone submitting MIME/HTML enhanced content on this group). I know. it would mean all other quoted text would not look quoted in your reader. I.e. they would have '' chars at line start. That is *excatly* what I want and what I asked in my post. I don't need colored lines in the margin to understand quotes. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: A bit OT: Python prompts display as nested mail quotes in Thunderbird
Do you have the Quote Colors extension? I do now. :-) You can also disable the use of colors in the options, but that will remove the colors for all messages. Or I can tell it to display colored '' chars. Marvellous! Thanks for the advice! You're a real help. /Joel Hedlund -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
A bit OT: Python prompts display as nested mail quotes in Thunderbird
Hi Sorry to bother you with my OT problems, but my newsgroup reader (Thunderbird) displays explicitly written python prompts as triple nested mail quotes (with lines in alternating colors in the margins). That's pretty tiresome to look at in a python newsgroup. Therefore, I'm looking for a way to display messages from this newsgroup *In Plain Text*. I tried View Message Body As Plain Text but that did nothing. I'm not sure what to search for so I didn't get far neither with Google or the Mozilla Thunderbird FAQ or newsgroup. Has anyone else encountered/solved this problem? Should I get another newsgroup reader? In that case, which? I'm running Thunderbird 1.0.7 on Ubuntulinux 5.10. Thank you for your time, Joel Hedlund -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

However, a workaround could be pressing CTRL-U (or View Message Source); that brings up the source of the message, with no colors applied to the quotes. Do you have the Quote Colors extension? It has an option 'Enable graphical quoting for plain text messages'. If you uncheck that, Thunderbird will use normal quote characters for plain text messages. You can also disable the use of colors in the options, but that will remove the colors for all messages. -- If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants. -- Isaac Newton Roel Schroeven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
