Outlook 2003: annoying line wrap when quoting
I'm trying to figure out a consistent way to get even quoting when
responding to all e-mails. Text/plain mail defaults to quoting like this: This is the first line of text which wraps here and then you get another longer line that may wrap with a single orphaned line like that. I frequently manually re-wrap that text to something more pleasant like this: This is the first line of text which wraps here and then you get another longer line that may wrap with a single orphaned line like that. And I try to keep the lines short so that a quote of my quote doesn't turn into this: This is the first line of text which wraps here and then you get another longer line that may wrap with a single orphaned line like that. Every e-mail client is different and everyone has different settings, so we will always get mail with CRLF's embedded differently, but isn't there a plug-in for Outlook somewhere that will take quoted text, especially nested quotes, and wrap/quote it more intelligently, or more accurately - create more readable quotes from any given text? Should I write one? Thanks! Tony |

Outlook 2003: annoying line wrap when quoting
I understand and share the frustration but have been hunting for a solution since Outlook 97. If there is one it's classified Top Secret.
The PC community should start a Community Chest fund that pays rewards for solutions to such things. One day I will put my fist through a display or start slinging equipment. The Windows interface can get me to that point just from the illogical actions, inconsisyent behaviours, complex manuevers that put a mile & 8 clicks on the mouse that should be a single click, 1000 control type things that SHOULD be in the Control Panel. Microsoft is very inconsistent. They either "leave it that way 'cos people are used to it" or "change for change' sake" like in XP where nearly everyone changes back to classic mode anyway. I need a new line of work... for "America's Most Wanted - " or like the FBI, "PC Top TenThere should be an Org offering rewards for these maddening problems "Tony Gravagno" wrote: (First and only bump) No one has any comments on this?
