Bad wordwrap in quoted text

[Karl E. Peterson]

Hi --

Trying to adjust to Outlook 2003, and having difficulties getting it to quote text
properly. I've tried things like setting the autowrap to 100, and reg settings like
that in KB823921, to no avail. This is kinda hard to explain, but in essence, if I
get an email with text like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Praesent arcu
est, tempus in, dignissim nec, sodales at, tellus. Nulla facilisi.
Phasellus dictum feugiat ipsum. Morbi ultricies placerat augue. Nullam et
odio. Nullam mauris sapien, elementum fringilla, scelerisque a, accumsan
in, metus. Pellentesque rutrum quam ut lacus suscipit accumsan. In luctus
faucibus nibh. Duis tempor molestie massa. Aenean tempus. Morbi a nisi.
Etiam consectetuer. Ut non sapien sed nulla sollicitudin blandit. Sed
hendrerit mattis magna. Suspendisse potenti.

It gets quoted like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing
elit. Praesent arcu
est, tempus in, dignissim nec, sodales at, tellus.
Nulla facilisi.
Phasellus dictum feugiat ipsum. Morbi ultricies placerat
augue. Nullam et
odio. Nullam mauris sapien, elementum fringilla,
scelerisque a, accumsan
in, metus. Pellentesque rutrum quam ut lacus suscipit
accumsan. In luctus
faucibus nibh. Duis tempor molestie massa. Aenean tempus.
Morbi a nisi.
Etiam consectetuer. Ut non sapien sed nulla sollicitudin
blandit. Sed
hendrerit mattis magna. Suspendisse potenti.

Totally lame. Any suggestions how to fix this?

Thanks... Karl

For plain text mesages, you want Outlook-Quotefix:

Wow! I've been using OE-QuoteFix for years. Had no idea there was an Outlook
counterpart.

Okay, got it running, but to be honest nothing much seems to have changed. Will
need to go look at the FAQs for that, unless you have any other suggestions?

Thanks... Karl

Bingo! RTFM, it was. Just set it to *not* include the quote chars, and we were off
to the races.

Thanks so much... Karl
