Yes.

Quoting in Outlook - Utility to fix MS-Outlook's broken quoting style
Outlook .... Look Out is a more appropriate name, but sadly too many people seem to love it anyway. :(
Outlook does have some useful features in corporate settings. When I used to use it to post to email lists, I managed to beat it into (mostly) submission, at least for plain text emails.
I loved OE, but now use Thunderbird.
While I liked some features of Outlook, I never liked OE at all. I used to use Eudora, but have switched to Thunderbird, which I like better. Took the opportunity to change my email to IMAP, which has made things easier with the multitude of devices I might access email with these days. :)
Anyone using OE is going to be running XP, and they shouldn't be running XP.... so when the MUA reports as OE, I know it's an email from someone using XP or older....
Yep.
In TB with plain text replies (best with email lists), the formatting is fine with > symbols. If we reply using HTML, then it gets messy, but some people prefer HTML and in some situations it is actually preferable.
HTML email does have its uses, though for most purposes, plain text suffices. -- 73 de Tony VK3JED/VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
