Replying to Newgroups (USENET)

[Dave Lee]

I use Vista Mail as my primary USENET client. For years when using Outlook
Express (and later Vista Mail) as my USENET client occasionally when I would
reply to a posting, the post that I would reply to would not get a ">" added
to each line or the post that I am replying to. It didn't happen often, so
I didn't care much.

Over the last couple of weeks it now seems that the vast majority of posts
that I reply to do not get a ">" added to the post when I do a "Reply
Group". Does anyone know what, if anything, has changed recently? I am
up-to-date with Vista changes as far as I know.

When you come across a post like that, look at the full headers
(Ctrl+F3). If it says something like "quoted-printable" format,
Windows Mail is unable to indent it with the > character.
Its a known bug that also exists in OE.
That bug has been fixed in Windows Live Mail.

Re: Attached

Thanks, Gary. I guess this is reason #3 to go to Windows Live Mail. Not sure
how many I need to get me off my lazy butt and do it

Going forward, WLM is where the action is going to be, so
you might as well get on the bandwagon now.
