How to disable graphical quoting

I would like to temporarily disable graphical quoting so that the >, >> type quoting is used. I have disabled the Quote Colors & Collapse plugin and restarted Thunderbird, but it is still showing the graphical quoting. I would have thought that disabling the plugin would have caused TB to go back to the default quoting.

Is there a way to go back to the default quoting? Are there settings in Config Editor which need to be changed? Which ones?

I am on TB 102.9.0 and Quote Colors & Collapse 4.1.0.

Thanks,

Bill

Try the Add-on off and set in config editor entries as follow:

mail.quoted_graphical -> false

mail.quoteasblock -> false

mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support -> true

Thanks Bastler. I disabled the extension. I changed the first two options from "true" to "false". The last one was already set to "true". Doing this did cause TB to revert to the standard >, >> type quoting. I then enabled the extension and changed them back to "true" and the graphical quoting was back. Just what I needed.

Not sure why there isn't an option to do that in the extension. It seems like if a person wanted to quit using graphical quoting that there should be an easy way to revert to the standard quoting. I only want to do it occasionally. I prefer the graphical quoting.

Thanks!

Thanks, that explains why there is no option. Would it make sense to add some kind of explanation (in the settings or somewhere else) on how to revert to the >, >> form of quoting for those who wish to turn off graphical quoting or uninstall the extension?

Just for clarification, is it just these settings that can't be changed or is it any Config Editor settings that can't be changed??

Thanks,

Bill

Thanks for the explanation.
