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.
