Yes, that's exactly what happened, she inserted the text directly into
what I wrote. I understand that that's a PEBCAK, but I suspect that
Outlook is not displaying the actual >'s, it is just displaying a big
bar to indicate the original message. I suspect that when she tries to
edit the reply, she is pressing enter and putting her own text on a new
line, but Outlook is automatically quoting _that_ as well, just so it
doesn't break the big quote-line on the left side of the message.
So I'm going to adjust her settings for her and make sure that it's
actually displaying the '>'s, and allowing for raw text entry with no
auto-quote auto-indent auto-whatever crap (only auto-wrapping).
