Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; ru) Opera 8.54 Build Identifier: http://ftp-mozilla.netscape.com/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.5.0.3/win32/ru/Firefox%20Setup%201.5.0.3.exe When I wish to insert answer in middle of quoted line, I press Enter inside it. But then new line doesn't gets quotation prefix. Ie. let me have quoted line: |AVB> you wrong. he wrong. I split line between statements and wish to automatically get next: |AVB> you wrong. |AVB> he wrong. For this, composer should detect quotation prefix (find ">" in first 4-6 characters), extract it (all letters before founded ">" and all following ">") and inseert this prefix into newly created line. Of course, when line "breaked" (Enter pressed) at the end, then prefix shouldn't be inserted into new (empty) line. The more so, it will be fine, if composer (also as viewer) will allow to properly reformat long quoted lines, with inserting proper prefix before wrapped parts. Reproducible: Always

> *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 161968 *** Yes, there is duplication. #161968 even more generic, because there proposed to automatically insert four breaks and place cursor in middle. But my proposal is more generic in other aspect, because I concern more generic quotation prefixes. See also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339704
