174278 - Cannot insert text in quoted text

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 174047

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Ulrich Drepper]

If I reply to a message and keep some of the text of the message I received in
the form of quotes (i.e., normal operation) I now cannot add text in between the
quoted text.

Before the days when the quoted text was marked by the fancy colored bar at the
right even in the compose window I could simply insert empty lines and start
writing.  Now this isn't possible anymore.  The new lines I add by hitting
return after placing the cursor at the end of a quoted line are also quoted.

This might be consistent with the way these braindead M$ office users reply but
it is wrong.  Comments must follow directly the quotes in the mail they refer
to.  Everything else is unpolite.

I just started using the current sources again (20021012 shows the problem) and
this problem really makes me want to go back to the version I was using before
despite not having Xft support.

dupe of 'unable to "break" quotes with the return key'
