ThunderBird Reset Quote Header is an add-on that alters the quote headers on responses in ThunderBird.
ThunderBird Reset Quote Header is a helpful extension designed to replace ThunderBird's standard quote header with a customized one that suits your needs. Once you have installed the extension and created or copied new quote header files, you can restart ThunderBird and point the extension's preferences to the updated quote header files.
The new quote header files are straightforward to create and can easily mimic the desired look of your quote header. You can use tokens in the files, which the extension will replace with text from ThunderBird. There are two types of quote header files, one for plaintext composition and another for HTML composition. The XPI includes sample quote header files that you can extract and modify as per your requirements.
To configure the extension, open its preferences and select the quote header files' locations. You can now modify the look of the quote header on replies. The XPI also includes quote header templates that you can extract and use.
To use the extension, type the word 'wrote' (without quotes) in the extension's options page's 'type what your old header looks like' box. However, note that the ThunderBird Reset Quote Header extension can only reset quote headers on messages you reply to from ThunderBird's main window. Stand-alone messages will not receive the new quote header.
Finally, the extension allows you to add HTML formatting to your quote header files by editing them. After you have made any changes, remember to open a new compose window to view them. ThunderBird Reset Quote Header requires ThunderBird 0.8 - 2.0+ to work correctly.
