But OE (which you are using) is NOT compliant with the various RFCs that specify Internet standards and conventions, including RFC 3676. If it were compliant, John's signature would have been pruned from your quote of his original message. In any case, Thunderbird has the option to quote the forwarded message within the body of your message. On the menu bar, select [Tools > Options]. On the Options window, select the Composition icon. On the Composition pane, select the General tab. On the first line of the General tab, select Inline in the pull-down list. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
