Blue line in reply to HTML message

M

We have a user that likes to put responses within the body of the received
email. When an HTML email is recieved a blue line is placed down the side of
the original message when reply is clicked. When the responses are placed in
the body of the original email the blue line is staying with the response
even though it isn't part of the original email. How do we get a break in
that blue line? I have already suggested the "mark comment with", but they
want to have that break as the differentiator between the original text and
their response.

You can't, as far as I can tell.

I use Thunderbird as my mail client. When I reply inline to an HTML
email, the graphical quoting (the "blue line" you see) breaks whenever I
press Enter a couple times to insert my text.

Interestingly, I just did the same logging in remotely to a network
using OL2007. There were no quoting lines in the reply. Even when I
set it to "prefix each line of the original message", there wasn't a
quoting line.

I know that this is an old thread, but I am wondering why it wasn't
mentioned that replies don't have to have the blue line?

Because that wasn't the question asked and wasn't a solution.
