Tuesday Tech Tip: Start Your Reply on Top in Mozilla Thunderbird
I’m a Mozilla Thunderbird user. One of the small things I don’t like it is that by default, when I reply to an e-mail, my cursor is placed at the bottom of the e-mail, not the top. Well, here’s how I fixed that:
Tools|Account Settings
Under your account select Composition & Addressing
Assuming Automatically quote the original message when replying is checked change the Then setting to start my reply above the quote.
Click OK to save your change and exit settings.
Now, when I reply to an e-mail I don’t have to CTRL-HOME to get my cursor where I want it.
