wfm Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20030926 Perhaps you´ve been looking at the wrong place. You must start the mail application, then select Edit -> Mail&Newsgroup Account Settings -> Composition&Adressing, and there in the top box 'Composition' un-check the second checkbox 'Automatically quote the original message when replying'. Does this work for you? I´ve checked this with a 1.6a trunk nightlie, as I don´t have mail running on a 1.5 mozilla release candidate.
Brwoser is not Mailnews Preferences doesn't handle the panels itslef. -> Mail&News

by mail from reporter: Original problem solved, as he found the preference for quoting according to comment 3. I´m reassigning the bug to Help, as it was caused by a wrong help entry. He was looking for this preference in Mail & Newsgroups Preferences - Composition, as told by the helpfile: Automatically quote the original message when replying: Select this to include the original message text in your reply. Then use the drop-down list to select where you want to place your reply in the message area. This is wrongly placed in Mail & Newsgroups Preferences - Composition, but missing in Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings. Maybe there is also a hint missing, that other preferences regarding mail composition, i.e. composition and return receipts, are found in Mail&Newsgroups Account Settings, accessible from the mail application only, separately per account. Also missing: Entries for Spellchecker, Confirmation of Sending, if Keyboard Shortcut is used. These entries are self-explanatory, but if you look into the helpfile for finding them, you are lost.

Nilson, do you have some time on your hands to fix this?
Yea, I decided to try to fix at least 3-4 bugs today. I'll get it.
So, we need a help page about what, exactly?

Are you saying that the entry in Mail & Newsgroups Preferences - Composition should be moved to Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings? > Also missing: > Entries for Spellchecker, Confirmation of Sending, if Keyboard Shortcut is used. Sounds like another bug to me.
> Are you saying that the entry in Mail & Newsgroups Preferences - > Composition should be moved to Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings? The option was moved to account settings dialog, but the Help hasn't been updated for it.
Let's wait until mail help is moved over to XHTML for this.
