Email Replies - Line Prefix
I’m an Outlook newbie.
When replying to an email message in Outlook 2007 I have it set to prefix each line of the original message with “” but it does not do that. Instead it prefixes each line of the original message with a vertical line | in the left margin. I’ve seen that vertical line occasionally when I receive replies from other Outlook users but I don’t want the line at all, I want “” How do I make that happen? Thanks Peter |

You can't change this unless you change your message format to Plain Text
before initiating the reply. The pre-fix character only applies to Plain Text messages. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "PMokover" wrote in message ...

Instead it prefixes each line of the original message with a vertical line | in the left margin. Because you chose to have Outlook default to composing in HTML format instead of plain-text format. There are options in Outlook as to what format to use when composing new e-mails. There is also an option as to what format to use when replying to an e-mail (i.e., whether or not to reply in the same format as for the received e-mail to which you reply). Ive seen that vertical line occasionally when I receive replies from other Outlook users but I dont want the line at all, I want How do I make that happen? When you reply to an HTML-formatted e-mail, the quoted portion of the original message is put into a DIV segment within the HTML in your reply and the vertical bar is used to offset that quoted content. If you reply in plain-text format *then* you get the quoting character that you specified ("", in your case). |
