278388 - Reply quoting is annoying

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Bradley T Hughes]

This is most definately a personal preference, but I find the quoting in the 
composer/viewer windows horrible.  I have followed the FAQ to remove the quote 
bars to get the ">" quoting style back, but Thunderbird doesn't use a space 
after the ">".  I find this style of quoting: 
 
>>>quoted 
>>quoted 
>quoted 
reply 
 
too compressed and hard to read, while: 
 
> > > quoted 
> > quoted 
> quoted 
reply 
 
easier to read. 
 
As I mentioned, this is personal preference, after having used kmail and 
text-based email clients.

Amen. I'm having trouble finding any bug that describes a way for a user to set
their own quoted-body prefix string. Can anyone give me some clue?

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
