What I've been waiting for! Thanks!

[Zachariah]

I'll give it a go.
- Thank You for your time and energy.

Excellent, but I just have a couple questions.

Could you possibly set it so users can choose whether to, by default, have it save a PM recepit or save a copy of the PM? Its annoying to have both of those things chosen automatically, and the way you did it, you can't choose to NOT have a receipt/saved message, so I'm stuck with having to manually delete them every time.

ok so basically just add the checkboxes back in? That's probably a good idea. Thanks! I'll update the install instructions here in a sec.

but basically

find:

<div><label for="cb_signature"><input type="checkbox" name="signature" value="1" id="cb_signature" tabindex="1" checked="checked" />Show your signature</label></div>

after that add:

<div><label for="cb_receipt"><input type="checkbox" name="receipt" value="1" id="cb_receipt"  />Request a read receipt for this message</label></div>
<div><label for="cb_savecopy"><input type="checkbox" name="savecopy" value="1" id="cb_savecopy" tabindex="1" checked="checked" />Save a copy of this message in your <a href="private.php?folderid=-1">Sent Items</a> folder.</label></div>

then find and delete the hidden fields

<input type="hidden" name="receipt" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="savecopy" value="1" />

then find and delete the hidden fields

<input type="hidden" name="receipt" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="savecopy" value="1" />

It looks good, but now it says
"require_click" is undefined, in an IE error message.

Oh, and any chance you could add choosing whether Save a copy is checked by default as a user option? There's another hack I installed that let's users choose whether to save a copy, get a receipt, or delete the PM upon reply in Edit Options, and I'm thinking either this hack's own options, or if you're up for it, adding an alternative that let's this check their settings in the other hack (I dunno how much work that'd be, but the other hack seems pretty popular, so it might be a good idea).

Thanks man. This is quite useful!

[.Tim]

Yes! Glad this is available for 3.5. Nice job.

[IrPr]

WOw NICE WORK

Thanks Liz
but
The following errors occurred when this message was submitted:

1. The following users were not found:
1. 'Username'

this will make quotation mark around username when im trying to reply to PMs using QR
im using vB3.5.3 and using some another Hack that placed in private_showpm_start hook location ( Reply to PM without Quote ... )
any suggestion?

[.Tim]

One minor issue, if you and a person go back and forth several times responding with quick reply each time you'll end up with 'Re:' a bunch of times like:

'Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Message Title'

And that's no big deal but can be kind of annoying. Any way to fix that?
