Hi: I'm trying to find some way of removing the vertical lines in replies. A previous asking of this same question lead me to attempt to install the 'replywithheader' add-on but it hangs with the "Add ReplyWithHeader? This extension will have permission to: .... Cancel Add" popup box ... It doesn't matter if I click either Cancel or Add, the box just hangs there. Or is there some other way of removing the vertical lines? One might have thought this would be an easily accessible option in the setup.

Thing is that I'm working on a rather long report with other people and we email changes back and forth but each time another vertical line is added. How to nuke ALL the vertical lines? How to stop them from being added in the first place?

This is confusing vertical lines where? There no screenshot or what site your asking about for others reading to know where to start here?

Any reply to an email (So long as 'Automatically quote the original message when replying' is set), will add a vertical line on the left margin in front of the quoted text of the original message. The first line is blue. This is stock behavior so we all see it. I understand that in the actual text of the message what is there is a '>' character. If I could access the actual file I'd just edit it to remove the '>' but I don't know where draft messages are stored. Meanwhile I wonder why I can't add the 'ReplyWithHeader' add-on since it is supposed to cure the problem. I have TB 102.8.0

Like I said Firefox isn't a email program and without knowing what email site your asking about doesn't narrow down where others reading can verify or look at the site to know what is going on.

Oh shit! This was supposed to go to the Thunderbird forum. Pardon me!
