Hello Januk,

PP That was not the hint I wanted to populate for solving this
PP problem, but exactly what you told: simply F4 :-)

JA Try it. TB still processes any quote delimiters when using
JA quote selected text.  That's a bug in my opinion.  After all, by
JA selecting text, you're *telling* TB what you want quoted.  It doesn't
JA matter if there are signature delimiters, you've explicitly selected
JA what you want quoted.

Damn ... you're right .. I don't know what I did to get it working,
maybe it wasn't a qualified signature delimiter in the test message I
used (sadly I don't remember which message it was I used for testing).
Of course F4 should quote _everything_ I've selected regardless of a
signature delimiter, that's what it is for.

Nevertheless Alt+Insert works so Mrten can use it for the problem
described :-)

Yep, exactly, that is the way I do it. I never select any signature
delimiters.

Hello Mrten,

On Mittwoch, 28. November 2001 at 03:48:57 you wrote (at least in
part):

M ... or actually, my second, since i noticed that search-problem as
M well.

M i just tried to reply to a message that contained a '-- ' halfway the
M message, and the reply quoted no further then there. i know that this
M is the 'official' signature delimiter, yes. it was a preview of an
M email i should comment on.

M selecting all text and pressing ctrl+f4 gave the same results.

M my reply-template is fairly simple:

M Om %OTIME op %ODATE, %OFROMNAME:
M %Cursor
M %quotes
M %singlere%-

M is there an option/macro somewhere that i overlooked?

Yes.
First: selecting the whole text and pressing Ctrl+F4 inserts the
whole text as quote here, but that may be due to I'm using the current
Beta.
Second: Select the text to reply on. Copy it. Reply to the mail with
F4. If the text below the signature delimiter is still cut off
delete the reply and use Alt+Insert to insert the copied text as
quote, this works.

As you yourself stated the reply got cut at the official signature
delimiter, which is quite good. So, I won't see it as a bug -
especially considering that some of us see it as a bug that TB!
doesn't recognize a second sig del: - --  created by PGP.

Instead of using a reply you can create a new message and paste the
original text in with Alt+Ins. You can also create a reply and
copy the text below the sig del with the same shortcut in.

Other than Ctrl+v Alt+Ins puts in the text as quoted.

personally, i see the - -- as a bug from PGP, and a rather stupid

of code to parse a the complete delimiter string (hey, why else is the
remaining text there? (-BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-, that BEGIN
must have some meaning doesn't it?)

but to get back to the original question; i searched the RFC database,
and nowhere I (better: the searchengine :) could find a reference to
'-- ' being a signature that should be cut off replying. i think this
way of replying should be an option, not default. nitpick, i know.

i hate software deciding for me what part of the email i should be
replying to. one of the prominent features of the bat is that it does
not edit emails in any way, i find this one therefore rather
inconsistent. i usually edit away most of the irrelevant text in the
reply anyway.

hmm, yes, thanks to you and peter for the workaround, i thought about

I tend to agree here, with my current knowledge that is. I don't know
if there's a good reason for PGP's method that we're overlooking or
unaware of.

It's definitely a standard delimiter used by other clients as well.

Others don't and if those others hit their reply buttons to answer
messages from me at least I know that I'll be spared having my
signature unnecessarily mirrored back at me.

The signature delimiter should be looked at as a queue that the sender
doesn't wish for anything below the delimiter to be sent back to
him/her. This should be overridden only with explicit intervention.

I do agree that the 'quote selected text' option should really quote
everything and ignore the delimiter.

May I add a third possibility:
Mark the text you want to reply to in the preview pane (or in the

I usually reply this way and I don't have any probs with
PGP-delimiters (I just do not highlight them for reply ;-))

Of course I wanted to say exactly this! Ctrl+F4 opens an answer but
with normal quoting (signature delimiter) and addressed to 'From' or
'Sender', ignoring Reply-To. That was not the hint I wanted to
populate for solving this problem, but exactly what you told:
