Replying - quoting

J

Jake

Hi,
I am trying to get outlook to reply and use quoting, so that I follow the
proper email netiquette.

I read a couple posts here but no one has a good answer yet.

Can someone send me what a good reply looks like and how to set that up in
Outlook 2003?
I tried using the mail options, and setting to "replying" prefix the message
with > but I just get a blue bar down the side and no marks like that?
Anyone know what to do?

Hi - I've seen your myriad posts in myriad groups on this, and I'm still not
sure what it is you're trying to do or why the answers you've been given
haven't helped you out.

Basically, it is simple but confusing.

I just want to see what a good reply message looks like using the quoting
method? I have read alot of netiquette articles lately and most say it is
best practice to do a quote style reply.
I am just not sure how to set this up in outlook and what the end message
should look like? I am also not sure how to do this easily without cutting
and pasting text from the original?

Just have the reply text quoted in the message and start typing at the top
where the cursor is. That's how most people do it in email. Your reply
message probably already has the quoted text in it.

It should be doing so now. What do you see when you hit reply? What have you
changed, if it isn't showing the quoted text?
