Peter,

You've misunderstood.  By in-line replies, I mean that the text that I type can be interleaved with the text of the original message, not only at the top or the end as this is.

Hi,

I still cannot see my sub-sub-folders, but in the meantime I also cannot find a simple way to respond to messages with my text in-line and not 'top-posted'.

A search of the Internet seemed to indicate that an Add-on called 'Thunderbird Conversations' would do the trick so I installed it. This was a problem in itself because the link within the Add-ons tab pointed me to files that were the wrong version and showed up as corrupt.  I eventually worked out that I had to install it as an Extension and not an Add-on.

The trouble is that apart from providing the capability of writing in-line Replies it also re-organised all the messages in my folders, archiving most of them, (but not all), and then proudly displaying the resulting mess in the side-bar.  I've now uninstalled that.

Is there a simple way to write in-line replies in Thunderbird?

If not, it's back to KMail for me, because it may lead me into making mistakes occasionally, but it doesn't garble everything and allows me to compose messages the way *I* want to and not the way it thinks I should ;-(

Hi Terry,

1. In top corner there is a ladder like symbol. That puts all my replies to an email as indented under the orig mail.

2. I have four accounts  using thunderbird, and no problems with seperate folders for things like DLUG. I have no sub-folders. My filters even work across accounts, in that an email coming in to one account gets filterd off to a folder under another account.

my thunderbird is 52.9.1 (64 bit)
