Bogus Notes (er Lotus Notes) 6.x does have a "Reply with Internet-Style 
History" option which will quote the messages somewhat appropriately and 
also allow the replier to delete unnecessary portions of the original 
message instead of treating the original essentially as a bitmap.  I don't 
remember this being available in version 5.x, so even 6.x users, if their 
email system is still using the 5.x templates might not have the option. 
It also depends on whether or not your IS group decided to not allow the 
option; as one reason Lotus Notes email is so popular with corporate IS 
departments is that they get nearly total control of what the user gets, 
can do, or sees.

Unfortunately, the IS groups to whom the Lotus Notes total central-control 
capabilities appeal to, are frequently the same groups that decide to 
block access from corporate network to web-based mail sites.   I, for 
example, have to deal with both of these problems.
