I want to do something similar, but _my_ format comes out like this:-

About Re: printing without headers
My question is, how do I get the hard return to happen?
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

Hey, that's my quote header!! :-)

If it's possible to have TBird do it, I haven't figured out how
yet. For the time being (at least), I'm doing it manually.

If someone else can tell us how to do it, we'll both learn
something. :-)

Seems you have changed the 'he said' (attribution) line from the
default. So go back in and put the proper spacing or returns in the line
The program is doing EXACTLY what you told it to do.
The default attribution line is
"userid wrote"
since you changed it to read
"date" in "message id" "userid wrote" "message subject"
the control of he spacing, and where the hard returns are are in your setup.
It may have been an extension that did this. so check your extensions

Many thanks, but how do I put 'hard returns' into the setup? That's
exactly what I need to do. I've put the \n formatting command in the
config editor setup, but this apparently is being ignored.

See
http://www.holgermetzger.de/efaqmailnews.html#6
the default seperator is the comma (but you can make it anything you
want). If you left the seperator as is, then simply add the comma's to
your attribution lines in the correct places

Unfortunately, you cannot use the Config Editor to insert hard returns.
You have to use the user.js method.

As Chris said, the "\n" has to be used in the user.js file, not
in the config editor.

I didn't even know about the "\n", but thanks to the link Dan
provided (http://www.holgermetzger.de/efaqmailnews.html#6), (Thanks,
Dan) TBird now generates the hard returns in my quote headers. Here's
the relevant portion of my user.js:
user_pref("mailnews.reply_header_type", 2);
user_pref("mailnews.reply_header_ondate", "*-* On %s,\n");
user_pref("mailnews.reply_header_separator", "*-* In Article ,\n");
user_pref("mailnews.reply_header_authorwrote", "*-* %s wrote\n");
user_pref("mailnews.reply_header_colon", "*-* About \n");
I still have to copy and paste in the Message-ID and Subject
information, but that's a lot less manual manipulation than I was
doing before.
HTH.

Thanks to all. That really helped. Now I have to figure out a way to
place that reply just above what I'm typing :-)
