I can do it, no problem. I don't know why yours might be different. I have to keep typing to see if  my response is single or double lines - Ahh  Single spacing.
I don't know why it didn't work before.  It wasn't the typing that was the problem, it was when I tried to delete the unwanted text (your response retained all the original text).  When I did it earlier it completely screwed up the threading.

I still don't know how to change the quote marks to '>'.

I found this, but it doesn't tell me how to do it:

"When displaying quoted plain text messages

   Quoted text in a message is text that is being replied to, and is
   usually set off from the left margin by the*>*character or a
   vertical bar"

Or do I misunderstand your reference to quote (") marks?


I have found this:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Quote_bars

Thunderbird displays a blue vertical bar called a quote bar instead of a '>' in quoted text in HTML messages. The '>' is still stored in the message, its just displayed differently by Thunderbird. If you want to disable this feature and display quoted text using '>' characters either install theQuote Colors extension <https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/170>and disable "Graphical Quoting" in its options dialog or put the following code in your "userContent.css <http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserContent.css>" and "prefs.js <http://kb.mozillazine.org/Prefs.js_file>" files, respectively.


Cheers,
