How do I change the forward/reply formatting in Outlook 2003?

[Sir Timbit]

Hi all,

This seems to be more difficult than I thought. I have an (html-based) email
in Outlook 2003, and I want to forward it. But I want to make changes to the
email text I originally sent. When I do, any NEW text is 1) highlighted in
blue and 2) the spacing is off, and I can't seem to fix it just by removing
the spaces. It always inserts a space between the old text and the new text
I'm adding.

How do I turn these two annoying features off? Right now, I switch the
formatting to plain text, then switch it back to HTML. That's just dumb, but
I haven't found the correct option to turn these things off.

Thanks in advance,
Sir_Timbit
