78101 - UI options for type of reply header

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 107884

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, enhancement)

Description

[Håkan Waara]

We need a UI for the type of reply header the user want to use.

You can reassign it back to me once (a) we have some sort of spec for it,
approved by MPT and (b) bug 75377 is fixed.

This feature will be in the Account Manager, so it can be a different pref for
each account. The options will be:

1. No reply header at all
2. <author> wrote:
3. On <date>, <author> wrote:

I'm confused as to if we're going to have visibile options here, which will
force the user to determine if he/she wants to use a localizable version of the
header or english/hardcoded.

See also bug 13818, make the reply line fully customizable.

This would be UI for the mailnews.reply_header_type int pref, it has five values:
0 - no header. 
1 - "NAME wrote:". 
2 - Insert both the original author and date in the reply header (date followed
by author)
3 - Insert both the original author and date in the reply header (author
followed by date)
4 - User specified header. bug 13818. not implemented.

.. although it should probably be a pref per account, not global.

See bug 107884
Probably this one should be marked as a duplicate of bug 107884.
This is earlier, but the later one has the actual discussion.

see comment #3 for info on how to set this. 

I agree that this is a dupe of the further-along bug 107884
