I've reconstructed the thread in sequence, which the idiotic top posting
so many do screws all up.
If you look above, you can see that the original request was for people
to replace "you wrote" with "[name] wrote". Later in thread, someone
wrote that help was needed getting this to happen in Netscape, followed
by an opine that it wasn't possible in Netscape.
As you can see in the very first body line in this message is "Mark
Weaver wrote:", who wrote the message I am replying to. This was put
there by Netscape 2.02 for OS/2. I've yet to find any Netscape mail
version that fails to put the name from the "from" line of the message
replied to as the first words in a reply message. IOW, Netscape only
does what the original poster wanted done, providing no other options.
