Answering a mail

Hello all.
(OutLook 2007 fr)
When answering a mail, the initial mail sometimes appears with a blue line
on the left. I should like to get rid of it, mainly to insert my own text.
How to perform it ?
Thanks in advance..
Daniel

that means its HTML formatted - only plain text can use a character like >
for identifying quoted messages.

Yes. Sorry not to have been clear enough. My question is : how to have this
blue line removed when I insert answers within the the original text of the
mail ?

This isn't actually that helpful, unfortunately. I'd like to be able to
comment inline when I reply to a message. Ideally, that blue line would
separate into segments (each segment indicating someone else's test) and I'd
write between these segments.

Does anyone know of an actual way to get in-line commenting on reply to work
correctly when the email is in HTML form?

(Note: changing the message type to 'text' doesn't work, because then
there's no indicator of which text is mine and which text belongs to the
person I'm replying to.)

In Outlook 2003, the following worked flawless for me.

1. move the cursor to the point in the citation where you want to
reply inline.
2. hit return 2 times
3. move the cursor down so there is one blank line on either side of
the cursor (between the cursor and the citations).
4. select "normal" style format

In Outlook 2007, this does not work any longer. I've resorted to the
following steps which loses some html features but allows inline
replies:

1. click reply
2. in options ribbon/tab/whatever, select plain text
3. change back to html right away
4. ctrl-A to select the whole message
5. in "format text" ribbon, select increase indent or bullet (i use
the ">" type bullet) depending on how you want the cited message to
look.
6. go down in the message and type inline. hitting return 2 times
will decrease the indent for your inline responses.

Hope this helps!

Ben,

Nice work. I'll admit, it's cumbersome, but it does work. Maybe there's a
way to turn it into a macro. In any case, thanks very much.
