Sorry Patrick, you are right I was actually replying to Joe's thread.
Just for interest what is the issue with the quoting mechanism, I can't
see any issue with it. Just for reference I'm using the upstream version
of Thunderbird Daily.
All the stuff up to the [...] (above) is unnecessary. We know the
subject, the sending date and the To address from the headers, and we
know who you're replying to (me in this case) because it's stated below
after the date of the message being replied to.
The quoting style I'm using here, and which most people on the list
follow, is more succinct and less liable to confusion.
Thanks Patrick, the information at the top of the mail is inserted by
Thunderbird itself which it has always done.
As you have said with your emails it is obvious who is being replied to,
as I see your name in the from data displayed in the inbox and you have
your initials in the signature.
The issue I have with a lot of the emails in the list is the from data
shows as "Community support for Fedora Users" (as my mails do when I see
them, which seems to have surfaced since moving to Gmail as my mail
system) and there is no signature shown, so the only way to know who is
actually being responded to is the info at the top which I tend to
leave, but if it is annoying to people then I can remove it.
I don't know how you have Thunderbird configured, but the quoting is
really weird. You don't have the attribution line, so there's no
indication who wrote what you're quoting. And the quoted parts are just
a different font with no quote markers. Although the interesting thing
about that is if I change the message body view from original html to
simple html or plain text, then the quote markers do show up.
