   I hear ya.  I'd love to see similar built-in capability when replying to     
   messages when using Thunderbird.   Fidolook for OutlookExpress was     
   amazing.   
      
   OpenXP does a pretty good job with messages that arrive via true FTN.  But     
   there are issues with some othernets that I am curently exploring that     
   arrive via nntp using OpenXP.  For those, it looks like Thunderbird will     
   be the only way to go; I would only use the Reformator/Quoter to retain a     
   Fidostyle quote for a larger section of the message.   
      
   But, with the threading capabilities these days, I am considering not     
   quoting much at all.  It is just as easy to hit the necessary "control" to     
   navigate through a thread:

   The more systems would be conscious of using msgids/threading, then     
   quoting wouldn't be needed much at all.
