I'd love to see similar built-in capability when replying to messages when using Thunderbird. Fidolook for OutlookExpress was amazing. OpenXP does a pretty good job with messages that arrive via true FTN. But there are issues with some othernets that I am curently exploring that arrive via nntp using OpenXP. For those, it looks like Thunderbird will be the only way to go; I would only use the Reformator/Quoter to retain a Fidostyle quote for a larger section of the message. But, with the threading capabilities these days, I am considering not quoting much at all. It is just as easy to hit the necessary "control" to navigate through a thread: 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � When reference links available � � (Maus, Fido): � � � � + Go to the next message in the � � reference link (if any) � � � � - Go to the original message in the reference � � link (as long as it's still in the � � messagebase). � � � � Cursor-Left and Cursor-Right Toggles between � � messages in the same reference link. � The more systems would be conscious of using msgids/threading, then quoting wouldn't be needed much at all. ../|ug --- OpenXP 5.0.43 * Origin: (2:221/1.58) .
