The following message (below in full), demonstrates poor or
incorrect quoting...
The good news is that in this case I "might", or would have
said all this myself, so there is "no harm done"...
I only singled this one out since if I did not know better
I might have "assumed" I said the whole thing...
So my question is about quoting in general...
What I would like to know is why are their often no
little " >>>>> " arrow marks on lots of quotes on this
list. (Both in replies to my messages, when I "try to" reply,
and lots of other times...)
When I reply to other people - sometimes they are added
and sometimes not, so I know it is a combination of my
settings AND theirs... (And I can only change mine...)
What is a good "set" of settings (on my end only)
to maximize the ease that people can "at least" reply to
"my" messages and these things get put in right...
I use MSOE6.

The following appears exactly as it was after I hit reply...
(When I "read" this message there were no " > " marks at all...)
