2016-06-26 11:10 Mail Reporter Note Added: 0000554

It can be changed in thunderbird: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reply-above-or-below-quoted-text

It's weird that your default is below the quote.

I've installed Thunderbird and added email accounts and by default it places the reply above the quote and the signature below the quote

While the signature below the quote is different compared to other clients, it should not matter since most of the time you don't want it either way

I'll leave this issue open so that we can figure out how to properly deal with this when users set this up different then the default settings but it will not get a high priority since most users will use the default

I've just checked Thunderbird and you're right - will have to ask people to make the change from bottom commenting if they want to use the update by email functionality.

The new email reply parser introduced in EmailReporting 0.11.0 deals with this better.
