I have all set in OE, as Tony F. suggested, but sometimes the

of the
original messages, then(!) format the text as set in OE but keeps
the
original LFs.

I agree, Ralf, I too have problems getting Outlook Express to
quote
as I would like it. My email program is set to do what Tony
suggested, but it doesn't always work as you might expect.
Sometimes someone sends a Rich Text email and this program is set
to
reply using plain text and all that happens is ... nothing. You
get
the original text (now plain text) but the leading quote
characters
fail to appear.
While there will always be exceptions to rules, Tony is absolutely
right to pursue this - for most messages on this list the format
he
suggests is best, coupled with sensible "snipping" to keep message
lengths down. It is hugely annoying, though, when OE fails to get
it
right and I end up "hand-editing" to get a sensible quoting.

Just try, what Andreas suggested. Works perfectly including the
colours. This quote was done using standard of the program.

OK, I just installed it and this is my first message using it. (Not
snipped anything, apart from my AVG signature at the end of the
previous text, to show what it does.
Seems like a great little add on, and freeware too (although the
author encourages a donation!). Thanks for the suggestion, Andreas.
Clicking on the envelope icon (in system tray like far too many
utilities) brings up a number of options I haven't tried yet.
