If you use HTML encoding, you can do that with

Prepend on reply = <br />

to achieve the same thing (as I did just here in this reply).

Hi there,

It seems that by default in a message created as "reply" of another message, the "quoted text" of the original entry is put at the _TOP_ of the new entry and not movable (Firefox 17, elog 2.92). I would strongly like to have it opposite, i.e. that one is able to create a new text first and only then has the "quoted text" since people are interested to see a new information and only then the previous messages as sort of "reminder". It was like this in older (2.6?) version but now I did not find how to change this default behavior. Did I miss something?

Cheers

Valentin

I use plain encoding, cannot answer for the others but it should do the trick as it's in the documentation.  I'm using Firefox some large number and 2.9.2.-2475

I do what I believe you want, and get it by having the following line in my config file for that logbook (which is part of elog.cfg):

 Prepend on reply = \n

This gives a blank line at the "top" of the entries when you start a reply, and all the previous entries gain another "> " unless you've also altered that default behaviou (as in fact I have).  The result then looks like:

Latest line of text

> Previous entry

> > Previous entry to that
