Rick, No offense taken. It is a good example of bad quoting. In most cases I use Pegasus as my mail tool, where reformatting and marking things is a breeze. It's the only e-mail client which has this feature.
Sometimes, as in that case, I used OE, which under some circumstances, does not mark the "replied to" portion with the traditional ">". This happens even if you set it to do it, but are responding to e-mail sent as "Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable". Your e-mails are sent that way, so folks responding with OE, will not get their text marked with >. One can do it manually, but you risk messing up the formatting, so you can't win. Rich PS. I responded on the top, to clearly separate what I have written. Maybe folks closer to M$ can explain why OE behaves that way. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Glazier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 12:07 PM Subject: About quoting in general...

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...
