-> How to reply in a Content Flowed email? <-

[Steve JORDI]

Hi,
When I get a formatted email, if I reply, it uses the Content Flowed
format, that means it shows the received text next to a vertical blue
line.

How can I reply in between paragraphs?

I'm used to mail replies in plain text where you just add a ">" prefix
so it's easy to insert your own text wherever you want. But what about
inserting parts of my answers between formatted paragraphs WITHOUT
having that blue vertical line next to my text?

Thanks for any help


Sincerely,

Position your cursor where you with to begin entering your reply and, on the
Formatting toolbar, click the "Decrease Indent" icon. The bluse line should
be removed in from of the cursor. I just tried it and it worked that way
for me.

Doesn't work for me.
If I place my cursor between two paragraphs and click the Decread
Indent icon, the cursor is right on the blue line. Typing in text
doesn't remove the blue line.
Worst: the first type letter doesn't show up. It's hidden by the
blue line.

I'm in Outlook 2007 by the way. In HTML formatted messages.

Any clue?

aybe it's a Word 2007 thing. I tried it with Outlook/Word 2003. When I go
home, I'll try it with Outlook/Word 2007.

Ok. By the way, I have only Outlook! No other MS Office application
(I'm using WordPerfect Office). Unless there is a kind of built-in
Word editor, there shoule be no interaction with my Outlook 2007

You do have Word (in DLL form), because that's the only editor Outlook has.

Ok. So I installed Outlook 2007 on another computer and here
again, I can't get rid off the vertical blue line.
Mmhhh. Wondering why. There should be a way to insert not
"quoted" text in an HTML reply.

Apparently they changed this behavior because I see what you see.

Mmhhhh, this is interesting. Meaning that one can't really reply now
on HTML messages. First have to switch to Plain Text.
But since Outlook lacks a "Paste as quotation" option, that makes it
pretty light as an email "editor"

Thanks anyway.

I use Outlook-QuoteFix
(http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/outlook-quotefix/) with Outlook 2003
for Plain Text messages, but it doesn't work yet with Outlook 2007. This,
however, might help:
