Thanks for the replies guys. I'm using Mark's one at the moment for testing - to see if it does what I want. I was wondering if it could be refined: 1. To make the previously replied to text only have one '>' character before it - after a few replies backwards & forwards, the text down at the bottom of the email has 3 or 4 of the '>' characters before it - I assume because one '>' is added everythime you or the recipient hits the reply button. 2. I did change the %QUOTES to %TEXT - I prefer the %TEXT because if you just use the %QUOTES, text after a sig delimiter (for anyone who uses one & replies to one of your emails) gets cut off. When I reply to an email, I want the whole history displayed - every single little bit of text, every punctuation mark, nothing left out. The problem I found when I changed to %TEXT was that some of the text that you are replying to remains coloured black - whereas if you use the %QUOTES, all the replied to text is in a different colour to the one that you use. Is there any way to strike a balance between the two - on the one hand, have all text quoted like with %TEXT, but on the other have it all a different colour like in %QUOTES? Essentially what I am trying to do here is to make The Bat! behave like Microsoft Outlook - the email program that every place I have ever worked has used. Using it 8 hours a day for some years makes you expect things to be a certain way (even though the email program you use at home - The Bat! in my case obviously - is far superior). This replying business is one of them. I got the text that I wanted in my replies from an Outlook email thread, & now with the last 2 points above, I'm trying to make it exactly the same. Any help would be appreciated!
