Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 142439

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

I receive digest versions from several high-traffic email lists, most of which are Yahoo groups. The digests are generally 25 messages concatenated into a single email message. In order to reply to an individual email message from within the digest, I must choose "Reply to All" (Yahoo's default reply is "No Reply"; in order to actually reply to the list one must choose Reply to All"). Then (in other email clients) the entire digest message is quoted and I must snip out all but the specific message I want to reply to. However, in Thunderbird, these messages are truncated. I'm not sure exactly what triggers truncation but I suspect it has something to do with when the composition window encounters a sig line indicator (--). I did not want to publicly post a link to the digest version of a private email list but I will be glad to save a digest message as a .eml file then as a .zip file and send it for research purposes.
