Re: My second design
usually the "mouseover" is bigger and bolder.
I would like the text in a dark color to contrast more with the pale blue (... for my tired eyes ...)
I could suggest maroon, but some people might object
black for the lesser ones red for the REPLY (and why not caps at the same time?)
I do think what you have done is an improvement.
added by edit: the mouseovers could also include explanatory text
REPLY becomes

EDIT becomes

change or correct your post


PEEK becomes

PEEK:
see how the code was written on this post

the color should be the complementary version of the button color no that doesn't work either
perhaps you get the idea though.
see Laman tidak ditemukan – Toptechwriter
when you pick a color on the wheel it gives you information on complementary, triadic and adjacent colors. Van Gogh was big on complementary colors.
(and the buttons on the left side would be right aligned)
enjoy.

Re: My second design
I think the mouseovers should either be the same or bigger and more contrast (as in change link to bold is common as a mouseover command in web design)

I agree. there are two problems of contrast for the existing ones: button color contrast to the page and text contrast to the button color.
your dark border versions take care of the first.
(added) the color contrast to the page is a little compounded by there being alternating shades of blue between messages. I think you need a dark border on a light button with dark text on it to handle the contrasts.

those are better. #2 more than #1. maybe a little more space around the text?
the explanatory text could also be handled in the page coding (flyout text on hover like you see on most browser buttons).

kudos percy!
love the buttons to change the message being replied to into "peek mode" so you can easily copy the formating and the links at the same time.
me hats off to a great idea!.
