Interestingly, Thunderbird understands these conventions in plain-text mail and applies appropriate formatting (well, it is an NNTP client too, after all).
This is one thing I've always liked about TBird, though I wish it allowed you to strip the * or _ or / characters. Underline looks particularly odd since it's basically a word with two spaces surrounding it isntead of one.
I'm giving it a shot for right now, but like all Mozilla projects it really suffers from having preferences all over the place. Right now I'm on a quest to find the signature setting (it's not in prefs, must be in account settings somewhere) and see if it reads the signature each time a message is created or if it caches the file once (basically, will my random sig that overwrites .signature every 12 seconds work or not).
Ah. Found it, but it will not read a .file. WTF is up with that? _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list List help: http://lists.ranchero.com/listinfo.cgi/email-init-ranchero.com
