Well, firstly, your signature seems to be missing the requisite "-- " line that would stop it becoming quoted in a reply.Erm... I use Mozilla these days. It strips off the '>' marks...... and replaces them with neat, continuous vertical bars. I wonder. I can't be bothered to check, but does LookOut offer asimilarfunction - replace '>' with neat, continous nothing.Yes The choice is '>' ':' or '|' or you can untick the box and get nowt. my setting is '>' and my box is firmly ticked - ( did I really say that ) BTW how is this mail Bill
Secondly, you have missed the point. Mozilla is quite happily handling all the ">" quoting back and forth in a highly intelligent way. They are exactly what comes in/goes out in the text of the emails. However, it is being pretty and displays the messages with (blue!) vertical bars for my enjoyment.
I've just had a look throuh Mozilla's options and I can't seem to find anywhere that says anything about what format quoted replies should take. I know LookOut (and Turnpike?) gives you options. Is it that Mozilla sticks to some RFC that says it shoud be just a single ">"?
I've been very impressed by Mozilla. There are a huge number of really useful things it does for you. E.g. when in the browser, you can ask for View/Page Info and you get to see things like every link off a page, all the images that are being loaded, all the fields and forms on the page, etc, etc. I'm amused that it converts smilies to graphics. :-) -> pretty yellow smiley face :-) .
Other than flattening/simplifying my address book, it imported all the other junk from IE and BackOut(sorry) to perfection.
I won't be going back.
