I have one, too. Open your message, the one I am replying to, but
highliting it and then hitting Return. A new Folder View window will
open. Make sure that you see not only the message, but also the
message list. In order to achieve that, you go to the View menu item
in this new window, and then tick Message List.

Then hit alt-1. This will show you the message list in the threaded
view. This is very useful, you can see which message was sent in reply
to which, and it is easier to follow a "thread", a line of discussion.

You will see you created that your message by replying to a message in
the thread "pgp plugin?". Many people who were not following this
particular discussion will ignore the whole thread and not read your
message - regardless of whether you change the subject.

Therefore, when you have something new to ask, don't just hit Reply on
any message, but do use the New Message functionality in The Bat. Your
request will be read by more people, and you have a better chance of
getting a good reply.

The Bat doesn't assume anything. It's a setting, and the default is
that if there is a ">" character amongst the first 20 characters of a
line, the line is a quote and should be displayed as such. You can
change this setting to 0 or any other value by going to Options /
Editor Preferences / Quote name limit in the main menu.
