I'll probably have to settle for that. Thx

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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=

I had tried Reply=\n before and got no effect but now with any character after it, - for example (I was copying the Forward= line), I get a blank line but with the following character on the next line. Is there something I can put after \n to make it produce a blank line without an unwanted character beginning the next line?
