Hi Nolan, -- ??? -- Question 1: Not familar with your mail tool or aol's proprietary system, but a simple "Reply" should do what you want automatically. Question 2: Again, not sure, but you *could* be describing the difference between "plain text" and "send as HTML". Do HTML tags show up in your messages, too? Sounds like what happens to me when I use ExciteMail. --russ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
