I believe it has a bug which causes it not to quote messages with '>' if the original message was sent with quoted-printable content-transfer-encoding. (In fact, some silly people purposely post messages to Usenet with quoted-printable -- though 8bit is much more common -- solely to annoy MSOE users whose quoting will look even worse than normal.) Well, do what I do (or used to do) -- do the > quoting yourself. I use Outlook at work and I find that it doesn't give me any indication where it'll break a line so that overlong lines end up as alternating long and short lines, which is ugly. So I reformat messages I'm quoting to be shorter than that. (Using a guess for where the program will not break the line wrongly.) Cheers, Philip
