Replying and forwarding emails

M

HI,

When I hit reply to an email, it always puts the cursor right at the "
On 10/13/03 2:42 PM" date and time stamp with initial meesage below
it. This is kind of irritating because I want a couple of spaces
between my reply and the initial message I'm replying to, but
Entourage automatically puts it right at the reply stamp. Is there
any way to make a little space? In outlook express it always
automatically makes a couple of spaces between the two.

Also, when forwarding emails, my signature always comes up at the top,
before the forwarded message, this doesn't work for me. Is there a
way to get the stamp to appear at the bottom of the entire message
when forwarding, or jsut have it not come up at all for forwarded
messages?

Many thanks,
Matthew

If you're using Entourage 2001, get Paul Berkowitz's "Reply Insertion Above"
script. It'll do just what you ask.

There's no way this can be done in Entourage X, other than using the option
in Mail & News Preferences / Reply & Forward tab to "Prefix my replies with
short header-style attribution lines".

Not that I know of, sorry.

Thank you for the feedback. What if I'm not using Entourage 2001, but
entourage for OSX? Is the script available for that?

In Entourage X, the only way is to go to Entourage -> Mail and News
Preferences, to click the Reply & Forward tab, and to check the "Prefix my
replies with short header-style attribution lines" option. Paul's "Reply
Insertion Above" script for Entourage 2001 required a scripting addition
(Sigma's Additions) that isn't available for OS X.

But in Panther it may be possible to do it again with "GUI Scripting". We'll
see.
