DO tend to be Windows users. But, you COULD ask yourself why that is so.
I know why, it's bad habit someone in Redmond started, and because Windows users try to copy everything their neighbour has and does, it quickly took over the world, just like the virusses their broken software propaGates.
I had e-mail on Windoze before MS Office and Outlook. I'm pretty sure that it worked the same way, though I could be mis-remembering (it was a previous century, after all...)
Look up above what this great piece of MS software made of my quote when it was finished with it. Isn't it wonderfull that it can't even add a '>' when it reformats the lines? And what about this:
Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
[Filename: foutlook.exe, Content-Type: UUEncoded] The attachment file in the message has been removed by eManager.
I'm sorry. I didn't really understand what you were saying above. Are you saying that *you* are using Outlook (not your choice, maybe all that's available), and it's messing up? Or are you saying that the wrapping and insertion of ">" is being messed up by MY use of MS Outlook? If the latter, please note that I'm using KMail on KDE, on SuSE 8.0, both here (at the office, this morning) and at home (where I was posting last night). I almost never use Outlook (this gets me in trouble with my co-workers, because they are forever highlighting text and indicating their inserted remarks with color, rather than ">"). If I've got my settings wrong, just tell me, and gimme a hint as to where I might find the dialog to fix 'em. The only thing I paid attention to when setting up to use KMail was to use plain-text, with no HTML or RTF. For just about everything else, I accepted KMail defaults. I use the KMail internal editor. Suggestions? /kevin
