Reply etiquete & top posting
 

Can you help please what setting do I use in Outlook to automatically put in
text around a sender's name when I hit "reply"?

Also to ensure top posting.

e.g. "thus spake xxxxxxxxx. to the assembled multitude..."

Many thanks

Mike

I really hope you mean "bottom posting"...

This cannot be modified in OE out of the box, AFAIK. However, it seems
to be possible with OE-Quotefix (a must-have for OE users).

Also to ensure top posting.

I assume you meant *bottom* posting, i.e. quotes first? Wouldn't make
much sense to have a fancy attribution line otherwise.

e.g. "thus spake xxxxxxxxx. to the assembled multitude..."

Be careful not to make the attribution line too long.

You can't.

However download and install Quote Fix, then you can configure
that, to configure OE, to do so.

Hi,


You might want to investigate Sylpheed-claws:


http://sylpheed-claws.sourceforge.net/win32/


far more stable and sophisticated than OE, and with *none* of its
ridiculous security flaws.

This set of screenshots will give you an idea of how customizable it is:
