Heh...

Hey, I heard that TB3 will include 'Reply to selected' functionality...
do you know anything about this? Did they borrow any of your code?

Looks like there are higher standards for extension developers to
abide by for updates these days. For the time being, try opening
about:config (Preferences > Advanced > General), add a new boolean
variable (right-click anywhere in the table) named
extensions.checkUpdateSecurity, and set it to false. Hopefully this

QuickQuote 0.8.1 not compatible with TB 2.0.0.19

2009-01-02T13:01:41Z

Just switching from Windows to Mac. After installing Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 I find that QuickQuote 0.8.1 is not compatible. Will it be updated?

Hi Daniel

What about the bug from:
http://www.nabble.com/quickquote%3A-feedback-from-Marcus-to15712088.html

In my german "TB 2.0.0.12" I have the same problem. Is there any
solution? Seems to be a problem with the paths?

Date and time in QuickQuote

2008-01-20T12:58:14Z

Hi,

Don't know if you respond to comments, so this is what I posted there:

Great extension with a minor bug. QuickQuote apparently treats a reply line like "%author wrote on %date at %time" as if it were "%author wrote on %date"

It would be slick to break time out of date.

Installation problem with TB 1.5.0.10

2007-11-29T03:38:07Z

Hello,

Thanks for the extension! Unfortunately, I've tried to use it in my TB
1.5.0.10 (SuSE Linux 10.1), and after download and configuration, it
does not seem to work.

In Tools > Extensions > QuickQuote, I do have the Preferences available,
I even adapted the Before Quotation and translate it to "Le %date
%author a écrit :" to test the extension...

I've tried with Reply-to (my answers always contain the original
message), or with a new message and then Options > Quote message. In all
cases, the quotation is as before (without quickquote): "<author> wrote:
[...] ".

Thanks for your help.

newline not working on html quoting in 0.8.1

2007-11-07T05:38:16Z

I know someone has posted this before, and they didn't get any response, so I'll try.

When the newline code is used (%n), it fails to output a newline in the quote. This only happens for HTML quoting (the third radiobutton), on the other two selections it works fine.

It's a little bit annoying because I deal with a lot of HTML messages.

Is this just a Linux issue? because I hear it works fine on Windows?

Cheers,
Keith

Speaking of 0.8.1, is there a fix yet for Ctrl-7 not working for

OS/2...wow. I haven't heard from any other user on that platform. I'm not sure
what could have changed in QuickQuote that would change OS/2 functionality,
but having never touched the operating system, I find it hard to make a
guess.

As for old versions, they're all in the same URL format as the most recent
0.8.1: http://downloads.mozdev.org/quickquote/quickquote-0.8.1.xpi. So, you
can get any of the 0.7 releases by filling in 1 through 4 after the 0.7b in
http://downloads.mozdev.org/quickquote/quickquote-0.7b4-tb.xpi.

New Line Feature - Not For Linux

2007-07-18T19:37:57Z

The %n (new line) is a nice addition to 0.8.1 and it works fine under
Windows. I am using TB 2.0.4 (Mozilla edition) under SuSE and it simply
displays the '%n' not a new line. Is this something peculiar to my
setup, or a known issue.

Re: Quickquote: new line feature

2007-06-14T13:42:01Z

Ah, gotcha. It looks like one blank line comes from the TB's default
signature behavior. Furthermore, since QuickQuote was already set (I
think) to put padding around whatever came afterwards, padding around
a blank line is more blank space. How humorous.

Hmmm...

Ok, initial feedback... it isn't working as expected...

The prior version had only two blank lines between the quoted text and
my sig - one line too few (for me), as I like a blank line between the
quoted text and my reply. With this version, when I add a %n in the
'After quoted text' box to add a third blank line, it actually adds TWO
new lines, not just one - so, instead of three lines between the quoted
text and my sig, there are FOUR...

Also I'm a bottom-poster, so have my reply configured to come after the
quoted text. With the old version of QQ, it looked like this:

Author, on Date/Time, said the following:
> quoted text

-- <-- sig delimeter

Best regards, |\
> both of these lines highlighted
Charles |/

(see attached screenshot)

If I add lines below my name, like, phone numbers, it is always the last
two lines of text that is highlighted. With only my name (as in the
screenshot), it is the last two lines of text, even though there is a
blank line between them.

As you can see, there are only two lines between the quoted text and my
sig. I'd like three.

Of course, I'd also like to be able to tell the cursor where to go -
right now, for some reason, the last two lines of text in my sig are
selected/highlighted (again, see attached screenshot - this is exactly
what it looks like), and I have to manually click into the line right
after the quoted text and then hit 'Enter', then I can start typing my
reply.

I'm fairly used to this, so it isn't that big a deal, but it would be
really nice if it worked correctly:

Author, on Date/Time, said the following:

There was no screenshot attached to that message, but I'm seeing what
you're saying. With the message set to start above the quote (as I
usually do), it seems to work perfectly fine, but with the message
below the quote, part of the signature is highlighted. I have no idea
why the number of blank lines before the signature would change. #@$#!
regressions. As Thunderbird becomes more complex, more simple parts of
QuickQuote seem to start misbehaving. Still, thank you for this
important information.

Hmmm...

Ok, initial feedback... it isn't working as expected...

The prior version had only two blank lines between the quoted text and
my sig - one line too few (for me), as I like a blank line between the
quoted text and my reply.

Also I'm a bottom-poster, so have my reply configured to come after the
quoted text. With the old version of QQ, it looked like this:

Author, on Date/Time, said the following:

blank line between them.

Re: Quickquote with Thunderbird 2.0

2007-05-24T10:24:19Z

We've been getting a few complaints about this, mainly because the
last version of QuickQuote lacked an update URL so that Thunderbird
could locate new releases and compatibility fixes. Just download the
version for TB 2 from the QuickQuote downloads page; it's basically
identical to the release for TB 1.5 (and thus there are several
additional pesky bugs present).

Re: Bug report / improvement suggestion, regarding rewrapping quotes

2007-05-12T04:42:04Z

Hi Daniel,

I'm very glad you like the idea, and again, thanks for a great extension!

The deeper hooking into Thunderbird code could of course make some
things easier for you, but now that you've already reimplemented the
relevant parts of it with good success, I wouldn't see it as an
immediate problem (although as a developer, I agree it would be the
little more "beautiful" solution :-)).

Anyway, if you were now to implement this little feature that we're
talking about into your quote/rewrap functions, I'd like to be so bold
as to make one additional very small suggestion:

Thunderbird currently has an entry in its default context menu for the
compose window, called "Paste As Quotation". This feature is very
crappy, and does actually not work in the same way as the normal
Thunderbird quote function for some reason. How is this you say? Well,
this function actually does _not_ behave well if the pasted text is in
one single non-explicitly broken line, like well-behaved email clients
should do it, but rather, it will in this case only insert one ">" at
the very beginning of the pasted text, resulting in something like this:

----------8<------------8<----------
> This is an example of a long line that has NOT been split up with hard linebreaks (e.g. by some well-behaved email client software), and it will thus look very ugly when being quoted with the original "Paste As Quotation" context menu feature of Thunderbird.
----------8<------------8<----------

So, my simple suggestion would be to add one more entry to this same
context menu (i.e. the one in the compose window), called something like
"Paste As Wrapped Quotation" or "Paste As Nicely Formatted Quotation",
which would take arbitrary text from the clipboard (i.e. just like the
corresponding original feature) and then run it through your shiny new
quoting/rewrapping function, which will in the case of long lines wrap
them correctly before inserting the ">" markers, and in the case of
pre-broken lines correct the linebreaks as per my original suggestion.
You might even want to separate these functions, and let the "Paste As
Wrapped Quotation" take care of the case with the long lines, and the
"Paste As Nicely Formatted Quotation" take care of the case with the
pre-broken lines, if someone would for some reason not like to always
have the latter line-break-correcting functionality included.

In both cases, it will just be a matter of inserting a context menu
entry and passing on the text in the clipboard to your already
implemented quote/rewrap function, i.e. a very easy hack compared to
practically everything else in your very nice extension.

So, does that sound reasonable, and perhaps even like another relatively
good idea? :-) I sure know I've missed this quote-related feature for a
long time anyway!

I, too, have been annoyed by this very phenomenon, but until you mentioned it,
I had never thought of using QuickQuote as a means of fixing this problem.
That is a great idea!

What I'd really like to do, though, is make QuickQuote a little more
TB-friendly, in the sense that its current implementation really
just "reinvents the wheel," so to speak, when it comes to quoting text, as
opposed to simply extending Thunderbird's core functionality. (The fact that
it doesn't use TB's built-in quoting seems to be the source of most of the
bugs.) On the plus side, though, this should allow for us to accomplish the
effect you mentioned with very little hacking.

Of course, it would be great if QuickQuote could also try to clean up
the quoting characters as well, but I understand that can be much more
problematic...

Bug report / improvement suggestion, regarding rewrapping quotes

2007-05-11T03:24:44Z

Hello, and thanks for you great QuickQuote extension!

I have one serious problem with it though. Consider the following text
being sent to you in an email:

----------8<------------8<----------
This is an example of a long line that has for some reason been split up
with hard linebreaks (e.g. by some stupid email client software), and it
will thus look very ugly when being quoted (an re-wrapped) in the latest
version of Quick Quote.
----------8<------------8<----------

When I quote this message in QuickQuote with the "Rewrap quoted text to
col (72)" option enabled, the result is the following very ugly mess:

----------8<------------8<----------
> This is an example of a long line that has for some reason been split
> up
> with hard linebreaks (e.g. by some stupid email client software), and
> it
> will thus look very ugly when being quoted (an re-wrapped) in the
> latest
> version of Quick Quote.
----------8<------------8<----------

To solve this problem I suggest an option called something like "Ignore
single linebreaks when rewrapping", which will, as it sounds,
ignore/delete all single linebreaks when rewrapping the quoted text, but
still keep any double linebreaks (which is the normal way to separate
paragraphs in emails).

When this option is enabled, the result of the above quote would instead be:

----------8<------------8<----------
> This is an example of a long line that has for some reason been split
> up with hard linebreaks (e.g. by some stupid email client software),
> and it will thus look very ugly when being quoted (an re-wrapped) in
> the latest version of Quick Quote.
----------8<------------8<----------

And, if the original text would instead be the following:

----------8<------------8<----------
This is an example of a long line that has for some reason been split up
with hard linebreaks (e.g. by some stupid email client software), and it
will thus look very ugly when being quoted (an re-wrapped) in the latest
version of Quick Quote.

This is a second paragraph, which is also a long row which has of course
also been split up by the same stupid email client software, and will be
messed up the same way when quoted/re-wrapped.
----------8<------------8<----------

The result would be:

----------8<------------8<----------
> This is an example of a long line that has for some reason been split
> up with hard linebreaks (e.g. by some stupid email client software),
> and it will thus look very ugly when being quoted (an re-wrapped) in

----------8<------------8<----------

As you see, the double linebreak which constitutes the paragraph
separation is retained, while all single linebreaks at normal line-ends
have been removed before the text is rewrapped! Simple algorithm, but a
beautiful result!

Pretty optimal, don't you agree? Sadly, there are many of these stupid
email clients out there, that split up long rows with hard linebreaks
before sending the mail, so quotes _often_ look very ugly like in the
first example. This is actually the entire reason that I found your
extension, seeking a solution to this problem! And you already come so
close with your existing rewrapping feature. This final addition would
make it perfect!

Pleeeeease consider this carefully, it would be such a great (and yet
simple) addition!

Magnus

Re: Translation into Polish

I think you're referring to character encoding; QuickQuote currently
has some issues with foreign character sets (see
http://bugzilla.mozdev.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12750). I guess
localizations aren't worth much if the extension doesn't function with
that language...I wish we had some developers who used exotic
languages (Italian and English both use the standard Latin symbol
set).

Re: Shortcut problem in TB 2.0

2007-04-30T13:39:55Z

Oddly, it seems like a whole bunch of shortcuts are broken in TB 2;
you aren't the first to notice (see
http://bugzilla.mozdev.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16853). I'm annoyed that
since Ubuntu Feisty (my Gnome-based OS of choice these days, although
I still like KDE/FreeBSD better) was released on the same day as TB 2,
Ubuntu won't provide TB 2 packages until Gutsy (the October release).
No worries; I'll hack away on an official Mozilla Linux build. Thanks
for your feedback.
