Are you changing the existing subject when you reply? That's odd...


For a newsgroup like this, where you should stick to the subject and
have only one subject, yes; for a personal email, no. Personal emails
may have several subjects, and the reply might discard/add some. That's
why I wanted the subject of the email I was replying to show, so the
recipient could more easily keep track of what I was replying to.
Different tactics for different situations.

And we just violated ng protocol, but I won't change the subject this
time!


So hang on, let me see if I've got this straight...When you reply to an
e-mail, you want the header of that e-mail to appear in the body of your
reply e-mail as well as at the top of the e-mail!!


Sometimes I change the subject for my reply, but if the original subject
is in the header information of the quoted part, the recipient can more
easily follow my change of subject. It also helps when reviewing the
string of emails, as might happen with an elaborate or confusing
discussion.

You live a simple life and correspond with people who also live a simple 
life! Unfortuantely, I and the recipients of my emails are often 
discussing more than one subject, the subject may be updated, the 
recipients changed, the emails might be a week or two apart, or the 
emial might even branch. So, it helps everyone if they see the date, 
time, author, AND subject that each email is replying to.

Ray, you might send me an e-mail, and I like the contents of the message 
so much that I want to forward it on to Jay. Jay would know that I sent 
him the e-mail because it's up there in the header info, and he would 
know that I was quoting something you sent to me because it would have 
the line "At 22:34 on 08/02/2010, Ray_Net said..."


And, even if I were to just reply to you and say you're wrong 
because., and then you might reply that I didn't understand the 
situation, etc., etc,. having the "Ray_Net said" and "Daniel said", it 
might help someone work out who said what.

OK, how about this?

You forward the message inline, but when the composition window opens,
you edit the subject line to remove the [brackets] and the "Fwd:" and
substitute "Re:"; you can also modify the subject further if you like.

Will that get you what you want?

It does break with normal email convention, but you seem to want to do so.

I like to have a sense of time passage which is why I want the date and 
time.  Also the subject of emails chains sometimes morph as an issue is 
resolved.


Also I think of the attached document as more of a copy of the original. 
 As a copy, I expect to have all of the header information.


And I like the look of full header better :)

All of that information is contained in the post (or email) you are

Fly guy is correct about what I am looking for.  It is for email.  And I 
would prefer the format he indicates.


I tried the suggested link but I cannot find the Tools-> Options 
that it mentions.  I could also not find user.js.  There is a pref.js 
but it did not have the line that the link indicated.

Are you changing the existing subject when you reply?  That's odd...


For a newsgroup like this, where you should stick to the subject and 
have only one subject, yes; for a personal email, no. Personal emails 
may have several subjects, and the reply might discard/add some. That's 
why I wanted the subject of the email I was replying to show, so the 
recipient could more easily keep track of what I was replying to. 
Different tactics for different situations.


And we just violated ng protocol, but I won't change the subject this time!

When I forward a message it lists the full header.


Forwarding a news post via email?

You probably mean something like:
"On 22/4/2010 3:08 AM, Bill wrote to Test:"

All of that information is contained in the post (or email) you are
replying to. There isn't a real need to repost it .. and of course
all further replies will have it continuously embedded in the quoted
material.

Personally, I spend a few seconds with my replies trimming those
attribute novellas. Nobody has ever complained.


Is there a way to list the full header on reply?

I already get what I want when I forward an email, so I'm want this for 
replying to emails (not newsgroups).

Doesn't give you the instructions to do that? You can do it directly, or
try the recommended extension:
