Ok...I was curious about Thunderbird, and went and downloaded it.  Got my Triad and the old 1964 downloading into it.  But one problem.... In OE I can stop the ">" appearing whenever I hit Reply.  But I can't find anywhere in TB2 to get rid of the damned things.  they drive me nuts and its a hassle to copy and paste each time I want to reply to a copost.

Any suggestions?  

I like the idea of keeping my emails separate, OE for normal emails from friends and family, and TB for the postings/writing clubs.

Also, I can't get the spell checker to work, it doesn't have anything registered as a dictionary?!?!?!

Alas, that is why I switched over to Sylpheed, Kaysea. I got tired of forwarding messages in Thunderbird to avoid the > curse and after several hours of googling, I started installing alternate e-mail programs to find one I could customize.

Sylpheed you pretty much what you want it to be. You can decide exactly what is included in a reply/forward by creating a template. It can be a bit annoying for the average user (who doesn't want to have to go and type %m or ?d{Date: %d }?f{From: %f }?t{To: %t }?c{Cc: %c) but for me, I love it. :D

I hav an easy way to get around it in Thunderbird. I just copy the email and THEN hit reply, paste the copied part, write the new part.

Of course, I got into that habit from selectively copy/pasting to create replies in round robin, but it works effectively in full post!

And it really isn't that hard to copy the email, hit reply, paste+type. Once you're use to it it's quick!

I am too lazy for even that, Avril! :p Sad, but true.

Of course, when you have 37 coposts to reply to, even that extra work can seem to add up, I suppose. ;)

Like Avril I've never worried about the > because I open an copost reply - Ctrl A - Ctrl C - hit the reply button (with quoted text turned OFF in account settings) - Ctrl V in empty reply window.  It's so automatic now I hardly ever think about it.

The dictionary is an extension or add on from Mozilla but READ THE INSTRUCTIONS about how to load it before you click the very obvious link.  Clicking the very obvious link is the wrong thing to do!

Hmmm... how are you configuring it? It seems to not want to let me set it to lower than 1 level of nested quotes... and I want NONE! :p

I can't even find the Options table he shows in the diagram. I only installed it about 10 mins before I saw your message.  Can't find the options window for love or money. *sighs*

Go to your extensions menu (Tools, Extensions) and when you click on it you can click on "Preferences" and that will bring up the options window. (I had to go on a bit of a hunt to find it, too!)

Think I'll go back to OE, there's just too much stuffing around with Tb...
