How do I remove the indent bars next to quoted text by default?
When replying to an email, by default, the prior text is quoted either above or below the new text, with vertical lines placed next to the quote. How do you stop Thunderbird from adding the vertical indent lines by default?
Thanks

HI grramage,
Go to the account settings and select Composting and Addressing, and turn off "Automatically quote...." it is the second option.
This will stop that.
Thanks guigs2,
Unfortunately, it solves the problem by simple not inserting the original message at all. I guess I'm trying to be difficult, but I am trying to have the original message included, but with out the indent bar OR the ever lovely ">" at the start of each line. I prefer to control the text, old and new, myself.
See, just being difficult.
And thanks to you too, co-rel.
Unfortunately, your suggestion solves half of my "problem" (see my response to guigs2 above). This one gets rid of the graphical bar, but still inserts the lovely ">" at the start of each line.
Maybe I missed something in the docs, but it seems that Mozilla requires that it puts something in front of quoted messages and does not let pesky users like myself to omit them in favor of distinguishing the old text from new manually.
Hopefully I am explaining my want and desires correctly.
Again thanks for your input. It actually has been quite informative.
have you sent yourself one of these problematical emails and opened in in web mail? I think you may find your getting rid of something that only displays in Thunderbird while you reply.
Otherwise this add-on has many quote options and may do what you want https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/realborders-en.html
