+Options for quoting messages
+
+=== Forwarding ===
+`Initial phrase`
+  This text will be added at the beginning of the original text of any message you forward.  Click the pop-up button to select from a list of variables which can be inserted (for example %r stands for the name of the recipient, %s stands for the subject, etc.).  When the text is inserted into the message, YAM replaces the variables with their respective values, taken from the forwarded message.
+
+  Example: '*** Forwarded message, originally by %n on %d: ***\n'
+
+`Terminating phrase`
+  This text will be inserted at the end of any forwarded message, but before the greetings phrase.  Click the pop-up button to select a variable from the list (for subject, date, sender, etc.).
+
+  Example:  '*** End of forwarded message ***\n'
+
+=== Replying ===
+`Default reply phrase`
+  When you reply to a message, YAM can automatically insert three different phrases in the new message: greetings (Open), an introduction to the quoted message (Intro) and a closing phrase (Close). Use the cycle gadget to select one of these phrases and enter it in the field on the right.  Click the pop-up button to select a variable from the list (for subject, date, sender, etc.).
+
+  Example:  [Open]    'Hello %f,\n'
+            [Intro]   'On %d, you wrote:\n'
+            [Close]   'Kind regards'
+
+
+`Alternative reply phrase`
+  Communicating via Internet often means writing in another language. For that reason, YAM is capable of using an alternative reply phrase set, which will be used automatically whenever the recipient's address matches an user defined pattern.  This way you can, for instance, use a German version of the reply phrase set for addresses in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, while using the English version for all other countries.
+
+  Example:  [Open]    'Hallo %f,\n'
+            [Intro]   'Am %d schriebst Du:\n'
+            [Close]   'Mit freundlichem Gruss'
+
+`Use with these domains`
+  Whenever the recipient's address corresponds with this AmigaDOS pattern , the alternative reply phrases will be used.
+
+  Example:  '#?.(de|ch|at)' (Addresses of countries with German mother tongue)
+
+`Mailing list reply phrase`
+  To answer a message belonging to a mailing list, another set of phrases is available -- they will be used if the message that is being answered is stored in a folder for which mailing list support has been activated (see  folder configuration ).
+
+  Example:  [Open]    'Hi!\n'
+            [Intro]   'On %d, %n wrote:\n'
+            [Close]   'Kind regards'
+
+`Quote message using`
+  The character(s) specified in the editing field plus a space will be put in front of each line of the original message.  Click the pop-up button to select a variable for the sender's initials.
+
+  Example: '%i>'
+
+`Quote external using`
+  The character(s) specified in the editing field plus a space will be put in front of each line quoted from an external source, not necessarily related to e-mail.  This is used when inserting or pasting text using the "alternate quoted" method.
+
+  Example: '|' 
+
+`Quote empty lines`
+  Usually, the quotation character is inserted at the beginning of empty lines contained in the quoted message.  If for some reason you don't like this, just deactivate this option.
+
+`Verify recipient address`
+  If this option is enabled, YAM will check if the sender and the return address are the same -- if the "From:" and the "Reply-To:" headers of the message are different, you will be asked to select whom to reply to.  This way it is fairly easy to reply privately to a message from a mailing list.
+
+`Strip signature`
+  Activate this option to avoid quoting the signature (since you'll delete the signature anyway in most cases).  This option will work only when the signature in the quoted message is separated from the actual message by the standard '-- ' separator, that is, two dashes AND a space.
