Replying to emails - including a prefix - instead there is line

[Gordon]

Hi,

I’m using Microsoft Outlook 2003 on a exchange server.

When I reply to emails I want to prefix the original email with >>>. I have
set this up in the ‘Email Options’ Dialog Box. I have the following settings:

When replying to a message – Prefix each line of the original message, and
Prefix each line with: >>>

However, when I reply to emails it doesn’t work. Instead, there is a line
down the left side of the original email message.

Please help, it is very frustrating.

Many thanks

Gordon

That's only on Plain Text email items, HTML items act differently.

Well, is there anyway of using a prefix, even with html??

Don't think so. It's kind of mixing old-school email with new-school email
stuff.

The blue line IS the prefix.
