Maybe I know how the above paragraph came to happen. TB! uses *one
complete blank line* to identify paragraphs. With
Auto-Format/Auto-Wrap it will wrap any text that is not separated by a
blank line into one paragraph to your desired line length (preferably
70 characters).
This way the identifier (initials>) gets wrapped, too. the result you
can see above.

%Quotes just takes out the original text, puts it in your reply with
quoting identifier (as you have chosen under
Account/Properties/Templates/Reply). You cannot change the "macro" per
se as it is hard coded, you can just take it out or put it in your
reply templates.
I prefer the old-fashioned way to have the complete text in my reply
and delete portions of it by hand. Doesn't work with digest mode.

Threading like a news reader (i.e. Agent). TB! utilises some of the
headers to put messages on the same subject together. The best way is
View by/References.

Correct. Especially for digests.

You won't get one, you don't have to change it. You can trust TB! on
the most basic e-mail client jobs. And not just there, but the more
complex a task gets the more error prone it becomes - especially on
user's side.
