Description Andrew Lau 2003-07-14 15:31:50 UTC 
Jean-Luc Coulon requested the following on the Debian BTS:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=201082

Summary:

Instead of forcing a user to keep digging through the preferences dialog in
order to turn on/off quoting, Balsa's menu and toolbar should provide
quoted/unquoted replies as separate operations.
Comment 1 Peter Bloomfield 2003-07-14 23:13:02 UTC 
You can always leave the pref option unchecked, and either use Edit =>
Quote Message(s) or drag&drop the message(s) to the new message
content area.

The menu items would be easy to implement, but would extend the
already lengthy Message menu. However, the toolbar button is
especially problematic--how would you distinguish `Reply quoted' from
`Reply without quoting'?!
Comment 2 Andrew Lau 2003-07-16 06:24:54 UTC 
A good compromise would be to have a "Quote Message(s)" icon within
the editor window itself. How about a speech bubble containing ""?
