Hard drive encryption sounds like an intimating concept, mostly because it is. The thought of taking your precious files, then using a mathematical formula to convert them into random noise before scattering them back across your disk is a hard sell. The harsh reality is, mobile computing is on the rise, and so is laptop theft. Depending on who you ask, anywhere from 500,000 to over 1,000,000 laptops are lost or stolen in the US each year. In some cases, the data on the hard drive is often more valuable than the machine itself.

Sometimes I put up with computer stupidity much longer than I should. By default, Thunderbirdpositions the cursor at the bottom of the e-mail body when replying to an e-mail instead of at the top. I couldn’t figure out how to change it, so instead I rewired my brain to press Ctrl+r, Ctrl+Home to reply.
Today I decided enough is enough. After a brief Google search I found the solution to setting the reply position on e-mails to the top instead of the bottom. The stupid thing is that it’s not an application-wide setting, it’s an account setting.
1. In Thunderbird: Go to “Edit > Account Settings” *
2. Select “Composition & Addressing” for the account in question
3. Make sure the “Automatically quote the original message when replying” checkbox is checked.
4. In the dropdown box below that, select the option “start my reply above the quote”
This worked for Thunderbird 1.5, ymmv
* update: on Windows, the option can be found in: Tools -> Account Settings.
update 2: If you’re commenting to say “thank you”: You’re welcome!
