| | 2 | It has long annoyed me that Thunderbird sometimes treats the '>' characters in excerpts from diffs as reply markers and draws a blue line instead of the actual characters from the E-mail. |

| | 4 | {{{ |
| | 5 | #!html |
| | 6 | <img src="/share/flow-bars.png" id="emailFlowImg" style="float: right" /> |
| | 7 | }}} |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | I finally found some talk about how to disable that feature [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=86514 here]. |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | Put this in ''~/.thunderbird/*.default/chrome/userContent.css'': |
| | 12 | {{{ |
| | 13 | blockquote[type=cite] { |
| | 14 | padding-bottom: 0 ! important; |
| | 15 | padding-top: 0 ! important; |
| | 16 | padding-left: 0 ! important; |
| | 17 | border-left: none ! important; |
| | 18 | border-right: none ! important; |
| | 19 | } |
| | 20 | }}} |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | Set the following options: |
| | 23 | {{{ |
| | 24 | user_pref("mail.quoted_graphical", false); |
| | 25 | user_pref("mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support", true); |
| | 26 | }}} |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | And the bars go away. Along the way, I noticed that if ''format=flow'' is included in the ''Content-Type'' header, Thunderbird does the right thing. So, the source of these E-mails is partly to blame, but I am happy that there is something I can do about it for now. |
