Hi azrael,

This is not a good way to do things, especially not with other TB
users. TB is a "threading" email client and by making a reply in that
manner, you break the threading.

That is also bad practice for TB use. Common practice is to use '>'
signs at the beginning of quoted text. In TB, quoted text shows as a
different colour, but *not* when you use a non-standard quoting
method. TB offers multiple quote prefix methods (see Account ..
properties .. Templates .. Reply) and, for this list in particular, I
prefer to use "Initials" because, when many people are involved in a
conversation, it is easier to distinguish who said what a few replies
into it.

I use Auto-wrap with a line length of 70. That's the main setting. I
also use Ctrl+Shift+F to toggle on/off auto-format in real time
because sometimes it's a "good thing" and sometimes it's just "in the
way".
