Synopsis: (Simple request) Please add carriage returns in replies and forwards
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer
Bugzilla-Version: 2.0.2
Description:
Please describe your feature request:

Simple request:  When responding to an email or forwarding an email,
would it be possible to automatically have Evolution add one or two
carriage returns prior to the enclosed/replied email?  

Every time I respond to somebody I need to add these carriage returns. 
It just becomes a nuisance when you have to respond to so many people
over email.

Thanks! And thanks for the great product!

Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2012-02-09 19:39:07 UTC 
This was once implemented (bug 450820) and then reverted (bug 469292) as it encourages top  posting without summarizing or removing useless quotes.
