I found that to be fairly convenient as I could just press Down a couple
of times to wherever I was going to start typing and, well, start typing. :)

No, OE is much worse. It shifts the attribution and quoted text down to
produce an inviting space to type a reply. If the user has a signature,
that's included above the attribution, too.

All M2 does is put the cursor on the same line as the attribution; the
signature is still in the right place.

There's no defense against that. I would have hoped that it was fixed by
now.

I'm not sure where the 'revolutionary' thing comes from. Perhaps it was
the first integrated mail client before the Mozilla Suite software? I
don't know.

We have an Opera employee reading this group from time-to-time. Perhaps
he might take note. ;)

Isn't that typical troll-ish behavior though? :-)

Hey, was that a bait?
Sorry to answer even though it's really off-topic. To clear my conscience
I set an appropriate follow-up :)

It is possible to turn wrapping off in the preferences.
You can alternatively edit the accounts.ini-file:

Linelength=76

It is a per-account setting.

It's the automated filtering (e.g. auto-detecting mailing lists,
automatically sorting by contacts) and smart search options we thought was
revolutionary. You know, when GMail says "search, don't sort" - we did it
first, and search works much faster since all your mail is locally stored
:)

Anyway, for features see

http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/m2/

<semi-semi-on-topic>It also supports filtering by regular
expressions.</semi-semi-on-topic>
