ResetQuoteHeader extension for Thunderbird
Today I installed this extension which allows us to customize the reply string. Mozilla TB currently allows the setting of the reply string to be either the plain "[Author] wrote" or some combination string of the author and the date. M$ products like OE and Outlook put the reply string to look something like this:
----Original Message----
From: ...
To: ...
CC: ...
Subject: ...
Original message...
This extension allows us to change TB's behavior to allow this reply string. There was a thread on Mozillazine with a long and exhaustive discussion on how the OE/Outlook reply string increases accountability in the corporate environment. A sub-thread also discussed the lack of this feature being a major roadblock in the lack of corporate adoption of TB. Some people wanted this feature to be an integral part of TB, and not an extension. I think it's probably a good idea for it to be there as an extension, so that the Mozilla developers can focus on the core functionality.
In any case, the extension works well for me.
