Found using 1999-11-22-08 commercial build, linux 6.0 and mac OS 8.5.1 You lose access/focus capability to the first (blank) line of the plain text reply window if you happen to click in the quoted text before you type a character or <Enter> on the first line of the message body section in the window. If you type anything or press Enter before you click in the quoted text portion, there is no problem. Steps to reproduce: 1. Launch to messenger and edit an account to use plain text composition windows: Edit|Account Setup|select the account name. Uncheck/disable option "Compose messages using html" at the bottom of the account main panel. Confirm OK. 2. Open a folder/group within that account. Select a message and click Reply. 3. Composition window opens with cursor focus in the body section of the message. Don't type anything and don't press Enter. 4. Mouse click in the quoted text area. 5. Try to place your cursor back on the first/blank line above the quoted text where it was initially placed. Result: you can't. Cursor won't go above the quoted text area without your intervention by pressing Enter.

Seems to be an Ender problem. Reassign to Akkana for investigation.

I see this, and have also seen other problems clicking at the beginnings or ends of mail messages. We seem to have a number of problems setting the selection in these areas. Kin, any idea what's happening here?

Accepting bug.
This is what the html looks like when replying to an email: <html><head></head> <body style="white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; width: 72ch; font-family: -moz-fixed; b ackground-color: rgb(255,255,255); "> Kin Blas wrote: <pre> &gt; Yo, &gt; &gt; This is a test! &gt; &gt; </pre></body> </html> It looks like there is no frame above the sender's name, which explains why when you click the selection snaps to the line containing the sender's name. I am currently investigating why the cursor initially shows up in the upper left corner.
Moving non PDT bugs to M13.
I am seeing this too, this would be a good thing to nail down. Current state is livable for m12, but ? I would feel better composing replies if this were fixed.
