Nobody has mentioned Windows Live Mail from Microsoft. You might want
to try that as well. Most people don't like it because it doesn't
handle quoted email properly but you have to try it because it is your
opinion that matters not somebody's.

He is certainly free to try Windows Live Mail, but in this case, it's
not as simple as "your opinion that matters not somebody's." Windows
Live Mail *royally* screws up quoting (both in newsgroups and e-mail)
and the result of using it in newsgroups is getting killfiled by many
of the participants. So I *strongly* recommend against anyone's using
it.

I wonder if OE-QuoteFix was ever ported over to Windows Live Mail. Or if it
would possibly work with it.

Yes, but it's an extra step, so it's not a great way to do it.


What is the fascination with "putting lipstick on a pig" ? :-)


LOL!


Why not select a tool that does things right to start with ?


Exactly!


I have three web browsers on my OS, a tool for email, a tool for USENET.
If I absolutely had to paste some text from an email, into a USENET
posting, it wouldn't kill me.

I think one of the browsers, could probably do everything needed.
It has all the interfaces in it, so is technically capable.
But some of the interfaces *aren't the best*, which is
why I select another tool. I don't seek to reduce the number
of programs on the computer to just one. There's no point.
I have lots of free space left. Somewhere around a terabyte
on the drive holding C: right now. No need to be a tight wad
with space.
