Description Tarlika Elisabeth Schmitz 2006-11-11 15:34:54 UTC
Version:           1.9.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

There is a cool extension ("Quote Colors") for Thunderbird, which makes multi-level quotes so much more readable. Instead of '>' signs, a vertical line is displayed with a different colour for each level. And the background of each level has a different colour, too.

A feature like that in KMail would be great!

I am attaching screenshots to illustrate my point.

You can do something similar with Settings->Configure KMail->Appearance->Colours->(First|Second|Third) Quote Level, but it doesn't change the background colour
