      Yes, I want the cursor at the top of the reply with a couple lines of space as your image shows but without the From/Sent/To lines below it. IOW Reply=\n\n instead of Reply=\n\nFrom: %:From:\nSent: %c\nTo: %:To:\nCc: %:Cc:\nSubject: %:Subject: The problem is Reply=\n\n produces a reply with the cursor at the top of the quoted text and no space, same as Reply=

        Yes, I used to be like you spending lots of time in this modifiing my desire compose area in Opera mail which was a great fun !!!

        See HERE

        May be you can try delete what is no longer you need after those \n\n from the 2 rows of statement from above picture.

        Which are this :

        Reply=\n\nFrom: %:From:\nSent: %c\nTo: %:To:\nCc: %:Cc:\nSubject: %:Subject:
        Forward=\n\n------- Forwarded message -------\n\nFrom: %:From:\nTo: %:To:\nCc: %:Cc:\nSubject: %:Subject:\nDate: %:Date:\n

        In old days, it spent me may be half an hour or so to puzzle this & get it done my style.

        See if you still have problem & say.

        Thank you very much.

            The easiest way to force a line break is to put a double space in before the carriage return.
            🙂

              Thanks Dave.

              For example "Reply= \n" ? (quotes added)
              One, two, or three spaces before \n, also two before and two after \n, and I still get the same result as Reply=

              Also tried in fresh install of Opera Mail 1.0, and reinstalled 12.18 and got same result.

              It's looking like I can't get there from here.

                Hi Dave,

                Thanks

                Did you mean , after I wrote this sentence I am writing now & put a full stop when I finished this sentence. ( now I hit 2 times space bar ) ?

                and hit return key on the keyboard ?

                Thank you very much.

                  See HERE I have added as many lines as per the .ini files :

                  Reply=\n\n\n\n\n On %:Date:, %f wrote:

                  The same email account on the ' forward ' , I made this from the .ini file :

                  Forward=\n\n\n\n ------- Forwarded message -------\nFrom: %:From:\nTo: %:To:\nCc: %:Cc:\nSubject: %:Subject:\nDate: %:Date:\n

                  it looks like this where you can see an /n less so 1 line is missing than the above picture.

                  Thank you very much.

                    edmond, I see in your post several characters following \n in each case. Apparently characters following \n allow it to take effect. The trick is to get Reply=\n\n (nothing following) to produce two blank lines and nothing else. No date, no From, stuff like that. Reply=\n\n gives me the same result as Reply= Is it different for you?

                    Thanks for the help.

                      I edited the account.ini files

                      Reply=\n\n\n\n\n :

                      Forward=\n\n\n\n ------- Forwarded message -------\nDate: %:Date:\n

                      like this now

                      I hope I have made it correctly the way you meant you want it............................

                      The upper picture eliminating from the account.ini files everything about To:, From: etc... but I put a ":" still in there so that you can know what it turns out like in actual if you put anything after \n.

                      The lower picture is for you a comparison when removing To: , From: etc... but I in purpose left :

                      --------Forwarder message --------

                      Date: %Date:

                      still in there.

                      Thank you very much.

                        Yes, a : or a - will work.
                        I'll probably have to settle for that. Thx
