Being able to adjust the settings is not the same as "the > default". SICR! Note that even _if_ the MUA (web-based or not) does quote the message being replied to (normally with quote prefix, in few cases with header-only), there's nothing (!) stopping the user from moving the cursor below the quoted text and starting the actual reply text. On that way, it's even possible to trim the original message if needed, and the point _where_ the reply should start (there can be more than one!) can be selected by the user. Maybe this sounds snobbish and elitist (my computer is now stuck in that mode): The user is in charge when he is in control. Luckily, even the most stupidestest MUAs allow at least a minimum of control (call it "workaround" if you want). --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
