start a reply either with or without quotes

Asked by Erez Schatz

Hello, I would like to choose whether to add quotes to a reply or not to add them.
In Thunderbird, there's an option to add quotes when they are disabled by default, I didn't find one like it here.

Evolution mail does not do exactly that. You can configure Evolution to always quote a message when replying;

Choose Edit > Preferences
Choose Composer Preferrences
Set the Reply Style to Quote original message

Now you control what is quoted when you reply to a message by selecting the desired text first.
Select the text you wish to reply to
Choose Reply (or ctrl-r)

You can unquote text too:
Select the text
Choose Format > Decrease indent (or ctrl+[)

The Forward As submenu of the Message menu will let you choose how the message is quoted, but it will not fill in the email address.

Can you help with this problem?
