Try putting this into your usercontent.css file. Hope this helps.
blockquote[type=cite] {
border-right: none ! important;
border-left: none ! important;
}

I'm in the same boat as the last post by fallout84:
I am using TB 0.71
What I want is to absolutely get rid of the brackets > when quoting a
message.
When I click on reply TB should just copy the text from the original
into a new message.
In the folder xxxxxxxx.slt\chrome I created (as you wrote) the file
userContent.css and added the lines:
Code:
blockquote[type=cite] {
padding-bottom: 0 ! important;
padding-top: 0 ! important;
padding-left: 0 ! important;
border-left: none ! important;
border-right: none ! important;
}
in the root of xxxxxxxx.slt I added the following lines to prefs.js AND
user.js (which I also had to create like the userContent.css):
Code:
user_pref("mail.quoted_graphical", false);
user_pref("mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support", true);
What happened was, that the sent and received mails were displayed
without the bars but only showing the quoting-brackets.
When I now reply to any msg TB still adds these brackets.
What do I have to do to get rid of them too ?
I don't know if you've noticed it in the version you're using, but I'm
using 1.0.6 and it does a *terrible* job of quoting. It inconsistantly
doesn't leave a space after the last carat at the start of a quoted
line, inserts too many lines between levels of quoting AND it puts an
unnecessary blank line at the bottom. If left uncorrected, after about
three levels of replying in a thread, the quoting becomes a real
eyesore. I try to constantly clean this kind of mess up, but I left it
unchanged above for an example. Mozilla didn't use to have this kind of
problem, or maybe it was Netscape. I forget which version and which
program it was when I first started noticing these problems.
