Is it possible to customize the header line
that gets prepended when doing a Reply?
(ie. the line which looks like "Donald Duck wrote:"
at top of the reply)

As you can see from my reply line above, I've altered the settings in
prefs.js for a custom header via the following:

A) Type about:config in SM's location bar.
B) Type mailnews in the filter bar to bring up all pref entries regarding the
mail and news component.
C) See if the pref mailnews.reply_header_type is listed.  If so, right click
on it, select Modify, and change the integer value to 3.  If the pref isn't
listed, right-click anywhere on the about:config page, select New | Integer,
and type (or copy/paste) the pref in the blank exactly as above.  Then set
the value to 3.
D) Create the following prefs as Strings:
   mailnews.reply_header_authorwrote
   mailnews.reply_header_ondate
E) Set the two above prefs as you like.  For example, here are my settings
that give the above reply line (minus quotes):
   "With patience akin to a cat's, %s" (for mailnews.reply_header_authorwrote,
    and where %s = author)
   "on %s typed" (for mailnews.reply_header_ondate, where %s = date)

The other non-customizable settings for mailnews.reply_header_type are as
follows:

0 = no Reply-Text
1 = "[Author] wrote:"
2 = "On [date] [author] wrote:"

I'm using SM 2.0.6, and obviously my settings work, and should for you.
Please post to the group if you still have set-up questions.

Hope the above gives you what you need --
