Hello,

I want to configure my E-mail default reply signature to use English only. But I haven't found any options for it. Many sample only told me config it in "Account Settings" -> "Composition & Addressing" but there's no options to configure the content.

Specifically, I want to achieve when I reply an E-mail, the reply signature "On Fri, 2024... xxx@xxx.com wrote" always in English, even if I'm using zh-CN version Thunderbird.

Thank you.

Basically - that's what I see in an English version of Thunderbird. So I'm wondering if it's the same in your Config settings as you use zh-CN version.

The signature itself is composed on the account pane, which is the parent to the composition&addressing pane,

Sorry, I don't make sure if the line is the "signature". I means the following line:
