> Plain-text and Simple
| Thursday, January 24th, 2008 | --Sean |
I remember a few Yahoos complaining mightily about the inability to do plain-text quoting (with the >'s) in the new Yahoo! Mail when it first launched. The good news is, I just noticed that there's an option to turn on plain-text quoting when you reply to plain-text emails! Check out the Mail Options page, where you'll see a "Mark original message with > (plain text only)" checkbox. The amusing news is, at least in my test case, each word was split out onto its own line, giving me a reply that looked
> something
> like
> this.
But presumably that'll get fixed eventually, so if you're one of those old school bracket repliers, keep an eye on this option.
Or, I dunno, maybe it only broke for me. I filed a bug anyway. Try it out!

You presume too much, that’s been a problem for a while now.

Well, fair enough. :P I guess I still respect the thought behind the feature, even if it doesn’t actually work? :D
