Interesting suggestions about quoting and posting

[Lorenzo Taylor]

Now posting this in the correct thread.

It seems I found the answer, or at least a partial solution to my 
quoting/attribution problem. It seems that if I select a portion of a message 
that I want to quote before replying to it, the selected part is automatically 
quoted and pasted along with its attribution in my reply for me to freely 
exercise my editing abilities. I still don't like the fact that I can't seem to 
change the wording of the attribution automatically and have to edit it by hand 
every time because I don't like the big long one Thunderbird gives me, but I at 
least know how to only quote what I want and leave the rest out instead of 
having to find and delete the parts I don't want, and I do get an attribution 
that I can tailor to my exacting specifications without having to manually type 
in the name from a previous message. Hm. I wonder if this works if I have 
multiple messages that I want to answer along with their attributed quotes in a 
single reply because they are very much related. This is rare, but would be a 
rather useful plus IMO.

Peace and long life,
Lorenzo
