Ah; gotcha. Thanks. Yes, it needs configurability.
But, then, reflowing is evil in the first place ;-)
It works in Thunderbird if the char is ">". That if the mail is signed one way or another changes the quote char is, at least, weird. I looked at the option and did not see how to configure this. Perhaps a hidden option".
You have: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed so you're relying on RFC 3676, which says: "4.1. Interpreting Format=Flowed "If the first character of a line is a quote mark (">"), the line is considered to be quoted ..." That is, '>' is the canonical quote character in email and some (most?) MUAs treat it specially as a result. People who don't use '>' for quoting are arbitrarily making the world a worse place, IMHO, with no discernible benefit that I can see. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
