In newer Thunderbirds, you can mark / select a text, and when you hit
reply, it (and only that) will be quoted - called selective quote. You
can press Ctrl-A (for Select All) before hitting reply, and the inline
attachment will be included in the quote.

Please be sure to also cite the pref change I mentioned above as
alternative.

Hey now!
I hope you realize that Netscape / Mozilla had a really important role
in making the Internet popular in the public in the first place (the
alternatives were AOL and CompuServe back then), and that Mozilla is
*the* most-used Open Source application. In fact, Firefox' market share
on Windows made a large contribution to Linux, by convincing web sites
authors to not assume IE, which is a big reason why Linux is usable at
all. Imagine the web or email was only usable with IE or Outlook...
</diversion>
I use Linux myself everywhere, and recommend it to many people, and I
think it's technically excellent.
BTW: I want to use this occasion to thank all you Linux programmers for
your awesome, technically superiour work. Thanks a lot, and keep it up! :-)
