    Hi Guy,

    This is the "Author wrote" script that I use. You can change the verbiage to suit your taste:

    On this day, 7/28/04 9:22 PM, the esteemed Guy replied with the utmost intelligence

    Here are the scripts that you can add to the prefs.js file. Close Netscape and Quick Launch before opening the prefs.js file. It is located in your *.slt (salted) folder.

    Open Notepad or WordPad
    Select: File | Open
    Navigate to the prefs.js file

    Add these scripts at the bottom of the file, leaving one blank line at the end of the file. Be sure to save the file once you have finished the edit.

    Code:
    user_pref( "mailnews.reply_header_type ", 2);
    user_pref( "mailnews.reply_header_ondate ",  "On this day, %s, ");
    user_pref( "mailnews.reply_header_authorwrote ", " the esteemed %s replied, with the utmost intelligence ");
    user_pref( "mailnews.reply_header_separator ", "  ");
    user_pref( "mailnews.reply_header_colon ",  "<br> ");
    Have fun!

    Ramona
