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

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).

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).
