| OK. Who uses Outlook Express? You *NEED* Quote-Fix http://jump.to/oe-quotefix Please download and install it now. Note this doesn't apply to Outlook users only Outlook Express. I'm still searching for an equivalent for you. What it does is to fix Outlook Express' stupid quoting system for quoting text in replies and make it compliant with the dominant non-MS conventions that were around long before MS had an internet email reader. Things like:- 1. Use a one line attribution 2. Wrap text at 72 chars 3. Use > as indent on quoted text 4. Put your Sig at the bottom with "-- " as a sig seperator 5. Auto-remove Sigs before quoting As a side benefit it colours quoted text so it's easy to see what text was quoted and written by whom and what text is new. If you like it, please pass it on to other OE users that you know. And if you haven't read it yet, you might want to check out my rant "Coping with mailing lists using Outlook (Express)" One question I have to ask is why this was even necessary. Microsoft should be doing this as a matter of course or at least offering it as an option in the standard package. |
