Bug 3483

Highlight the text that you want quote, then hit 'reply'.

> Highlight the text that you want quote, then hit 'reply'.

That breaks a 25 year old workflow how I handle "reply" in mails without a good cause. 

All I highlight for the reply is unencrypted on my imap server, just as before. If I do not trust my imap server I can not use "compose" or "reply" in my mail tool anyway. So that change in handling encrypted mails is worse than useless in my eyes. No real benefits, but new problems.  (If that behaviour really stems from a try to solve that problem with unencrypted drafts. I'm just a user ..)

Woudn´t a better solution of solving the original problem consist in a (configurable) local draft folder?

If the new behaviour has another reasoning I would like to understand it.

No, it's not unencrypted on your imap server.

There are benefits, if you don't see them then it's your eyes where the problem is.

That was and is already possible.

It was the Tails team (or some of them) who kicked up the stink. https://tails.boum.org/security/claws_mail_leaks_plaintext_to_imap/index.en.html
And then didn't integrate the changes when they had the chance.

Hmm. Using this mail client since it was called xfmail. Registered
bugzilla account just to (may be) help, because the new behaviour seems so very strange to me. 

I should have started with a big thank you to all the developers, that´s correct. I´m really grateful for claws-mail and all yoour work! 

But a little bit of friendly help to enlighten me on that topic would be very much appreciated, even if "the problem is in my eyes". 

I really would understand the reasoning, a link to some discussion 
on the list or something is enough. May be I can like it, if I understand the reason.

Claws Mail was never called xfmail! But thanks for at least part of your appreciation.
There is no discussion to point you to, because most of it was done on IRC.
But if you want to discuss it this is not the place, so try one of the places listed here instead:
