SeaMonkey Mailnews FAQ

Last updated on November 3, 2004.

How can I have the classic ">" instead of the vertical bar?

Enter about:config in the browser location bar.
Search for the preference mail.quoted_graphical.
Modify the value to false.
Search for the preference mail.quoteasblock.
Modify the value to false.
Search for the preference mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support.
Modify the value to true.

The third line disables format=flowed and is necessary to completely disable it. Without it, format=flowed messages would still have the vertical bar.
