I think this is a great extension, I've been using it (and previous iterations) for a while.

I have just one issue: it's not quoting plain text emails in the compose window.

Composing in HTML format is fine as well as viewing in plain text or HTML. I tried changing mail.quoted_graphical. Any ideas?

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.2.1).

es wär super hilfreich, wenn es eine option gäbe, die formatierung (auch anderer) zu entfernen. ich muss lange mailthreads ausdrucken und durch die linksbalken sieht das einfach nur grässlich aus.
Edit: mit erweiterter konfiguration
mail.quoteasblock -> false
kann man das ausschalten.

Works great! Many thanks!

Suggestions:
- Allow user to override indents for quote levels
- Allow user to override text color for quote text (not just background)
- Allow user to set borders around quotes levels - Color, Thickness

Allows me to collapse quotes which saves a ton of scrolling. Many thanks for this helpful addon!

Finally switching to Thunderbird for Mail, after using Mozilla Suite/SeaMonkey for ~20 years now, I'm very happy to have this extension available. I'm the contributor of the _"Partially collapse quotes"_ [1] feature to the old QuoteCollapse, so I want to point out this customization [2] alternative to the _"By default collapse only quotations that are in sub-quotations"_ option:

/* Establish predictable line-height */
:root, html, html > body {
line-height: 1.4;
}

/* Always show few lines of text of first level collapsed quotes */
blockquote[type="cite"]:not([qctoggled="true"]) {
max-height: 9.1em !important; /* 6.5lh */
}

/* Nested collapsed quotes show just one line of text */
blockquote[type="cite"]:not([qctoggled="true"])
blockquote[type="cite"]:not([qctoggled="true"]) {
max-height: 1.4em !important; /* 1lh */
}

In the options of this addon I saw a lot of options to change colors of quotes, but:

> You can choose between two quoting display modes:
> graphical quoting with colored bars around quoted
> paragraphs (default), and traditional plain text quoting where
> each quoted line starts with one or more ">" characters.

I tried choosing the "plain text quoting where each quoted line starts with one or more ">" characters" but I didn't find the way.

If your goal is to have the ">" displayed in front of each line using the colors from QuoteColors, then this won't be working anymore without changing a hidden pref in about:config. The WX API doesn't allow to change these prefs in about:config, which means for QuoteColors, that it can't manage this pref anymore.

You can try to set "mail.quoted_graphical" to false in about:config. Maybe this is, what you are missing.

The recent change to 3.2.5 seems to have prevented me using PageUp and PageDown keys to scroll through a message.
Also, the Delete key no longer deletes the current message.

If I disable this add-on those keys work.

This is on Linux with TB 91.8.0

I can't confirm this issue. When the focus is in the preview pane, I can use the keys for up, down. pageUp, pageDown and Delete.

Please open a Thread in the support forum (English or German):

Which was your previous addon version?

Thanks for reviving this! It would even more excellent if the functionality of the old Quote Collapse could be incorporated.

Edit: Thanks. If I may suggest a fairly simple way: wrap the quoted block in a <details><summary/>[quoted block]</details> structure. The summary might contain the first line of the block text.

From up version 3.0a7 you can collapse the quotes. This has to be enabled in addons options.

Alexander, I really like this extension, but I have a question. I couldn't find any way to contact you via the extension home page. Is there a way that I'm missing?

This website limits the maximum version that can be selected. Alternatively, one could theoretically do without the Max version, which can later become a problem for "normal" users. Are you using beta versions? Then please be able to adapt the max version of an add-on yourself.
