Reply doesn't include entire message history.

Any thoughts on how to fix this bug I've run into?

I think something spontaneously changed with my email preferences. If I hit "reply" it has started to only include the most recent message in the thread. E.g. I send a message, someone replies to me, I reply back and it won't include my original message.

I looked at my email preferences and I do still have the "include entire message in reply" box checked.

Thanks,
Bjork

I believe that i f one of the replies in the thread has "--" in the first
characters of a line, Entourage will omit everything below that line in a
later reply.

Actually, I don't believe this is a bug. It is a feature that AOL used
to have in their client/software email. I believe that if you have
any text highlighted or selected and then hit reply, just the selected
text will be included in the email message. Should do same for
forward. This is a great feature if you want to ask a question about a
specific element in an email, forward an address of phone number, or
anything similar.

Try to 1) highlight some text and do a reply and a fwd and see if that
works. Then try a reply (and/or forward) and be sure to not have any
text selected (or even have the pointer in the message body).

Hope this helps.
