millbear · 7th May 2008

Hi all

I'm new here.

Anyone knows how to add the reply headers in the Netscape mail 7.2?
(what i mean is that the headers shld be displayed when replying like outlook express).

thank you.

Reply headers like what, for instance?
I can quote even too much when I hit reply, putting in all the address of others if the e-mail had been sent to others. I don't have NS7.2, but it should be no different than Seamonkey, which I have. What is checked in Edit|Mail and Newsgroups|Composition? However, I don't think that it is the problem. May be I can't understand you, and I don't use Outlook Express.

millbear,

You can customize your Reply Header, by adding the below scripts to the prefs.js file, which is located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles

Quote:

Customized Reply Line

user_pref("mailnews.reply_header_authorwrote", " the esteemed %s replied, with the utmost intelligence");
user_pref("mailnews.reply_header_colon", "");
user_pref("mailnews.reply_header_ondate", "On this day, %s,");
user_pref("mailnews.reply_header_separator", " ");
user_pref("mailnews.reply_header_type", 2);

Header Type:
0 = No Reply-Text
1 = <Author> wrote: - Netscape 3.xx/4.xx style
2 = On <date> <author> wrote:
3 = user-defined, not yet axctivated.

The above scripts will create this Reply:

One word of caution, ensure that you make a backup copy of the prefs.js file before editing.
