Ah.  Mhm...
As inline attachments, they'll show up inline in the msg viewer as well

the stuff.  Definitely not my type of friendliness.

In newer Thunderbirds, you can mark / select a text, and when you hit reply, it (and only that) will be quoted - called selective quote. You can press Ctrl-A (for Select All) before hitting reply, and the inline attachment will be included in the quote.

I stay by my word and recommend other mailers than Thunderbird.

Please be sure to also cite the pref change I mentioned above as alternative.

Hey now!

I hope you realize that Netscape / Mozilla had a really important role in making the Internet popular in the public in the first place (the alternatives were AOL and CompuServe back then), and that Mozilla is *the* most-used Open Source application. In fact, Firefox' market share on Windows made a large contribution to Linux, by convincing web sites authors to not assume IE, which is a big reason why Linux is usable at all. Imagine the web or email was only usable with IE or Outlook...

I use Linux myself everywhere, and recommend it to many people, and I think it's technically excellent.

BTW: I want to use this occasion to thank all you Linux programmers for your awesome, technically superiour work. Thanks a lot, and keep it up! :-)
