Yes indeed. I have long since removed OE, but it *does* default the way
you are using. Somewhere there you can choose to use 'quote' characters
in reply, and you should choose '>'.

In mailing lists, practically everyone uses '>' quote character and
inline replies. I find this much the easiest to read, especially as all
the mail clients I have use differentiate with colour and protect the
quoted text.
I would recommend ditching the awful OE (and Outlook) and use the
excellent Mozilla Thunderbird. When you install Thunderbird it will
automatically import your mail and address list.
