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

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.
Ah - and with colours as well in Thunderbird. Excellent.
