I'm not sure how the mechanism works in Thunderbird, but in practice, I find that Thunderbird quoting only appears correctly in Thunderbird, in other clients, quoting in a message from Thunderbird is set off only by tabs. It gets really confusing in long conversations. But a message from The Bat appears in other clients (including Thunderbird) as it did when being edited in The Bat. The layers of the conversation are clear. I like to insert text quoted into paragraphs like I am doing here. Maybe this old idea is passing away. I like it. The Bat implements this well, since I can put the cursor any place in the quoted text, press enter and the quoted text is cleanly split into two pieces. Other clients have no problem displaying messages prepared this way, but only The Bat implements the split editing feature well, if at all. > Cheers, > Lüko Willms > Frankfurt am Main > Germany > TheBat! 8.6.0.16 (BETA) > OS_: Windows NT 6 (NT 6.1Build 7601 - Service Pack 1) > CPU: AMD amd athlon(tm) 64 x2 dual core processor 4200+ -- Gleason ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 8.5.8.5 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
