Arrows in Email

[GusGus]

When I receive text in some emails, the sentences are preceeded by arrows.
Can someone tell me a little information about these arrows, like if I want
to send the message to to someone else without arrows, and how do they get
there in the first place?

You are using Word to read your mail and have it configured to show some of
the formatting marks that are usually invisible. The little arrows (they
point to the right, correct?) are tab characters, most likely. In Word,
click Tools>Options and on the View tab, uncheck the formatting marks you
don't want to see.
