Default Outlook inserts extra spaces into edited replies & forwards

When I forward or reply to a message but need to edit the text in the body of
the message (the text in the originally sent email) Outlook automatically
places an extra space before & after the inserted text that I type.

This only happens when replying to HTML email, no problem with plain
text. Also, when I edit the original sender's text it is in blue arial
font regardless of what font & color the original email was formatted
in.

I am using OL 2003 SP2.

Many others are having this same problem. I've seen the question asked on
several forums but nobody has been able to provide a solution.

Can anyone help?

This is Outlook trying to insert the initials. No initials provided =
blank space(s). I don't know if there is a way to turn this off.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "trying to insert the initials?"

I think this can be turned off because it just recently started happening
in the last couple of months.

When you install Office, at some stage you are asked to provide your
initials (e.g. mine PBW). These are inserted as [PBW] in front of any
text you alter in the original message body.

If it can be turned off, I simply haven't found this. Anybody?

For Outlook 2003, click ToolsOptionsE-mail Options and uncheck the "Mark
my comments with" box. Other Outlooks should have similar settings.

The initials are added if you have the following checkbox checked:
tools-options
E-mail options
"Mark my comments with"


However, I have not got this checked, and I also get an extra space
added to any edited replies.

Check the box next to "Mark my comments with:" and delete everything in the text field. Then uncheck the box. Viola! Works in Outlook 2003, which I have. Try checking the box first and deleting everything in the text field. Interesting what Outlook inserts. Should be "[]" before the inserted text in the email message. Good luck.
