When I was on OE, the posters' attribution marks were automatic. Now I'm
posting via livemail, I have to enter the () att marks. Is there somewhere in 'settings' I could change? Thanks. |

alt.windows7.general: Windows Live Mail 2011? The indent marks are gone for good. I'm hoping the quote indicators aren't "gone for good", but just broken in the latest release, and that they will be fixed later. Hasn't happened yet, though, and it's been a couple of months. |

Stan, your sermon might have more impact if, at a minimum, you shortened your signature AND removed the spam. |

It has many other problems apart from the quote marks - not the least is that it doesn't handle signature markers correctly, resulting in even more difficulty reading message written by it. As it doesn't add quote marks, the whole of any reply to a message with a signature effectively becomes part of the previous poster's signature. That usually means it is shown very faintly or stripped out altogether (depending on the reader's settings) , so your message probably won't get read at all. The longer any thread which was started by, or contains messages written by, WLM gets, the worse the mess gets. Some people have started setting up rules to delete all messages written by WLM, so great is the hassle it causes. -- Regards, Bob Alimony - the Bounty on the Mutiny! |

Thanks Nil, I'll give it a couple of months, if it's not fixed, I'll follow Ken's suggestion of 'Forte Agent' If you want to experiment, in a way that is independent of your current setup, you can install a new newsreader, and practice on aioe.org . It doesn't have an authentication system, works on the standard port, and accepts around 25 posts per day. Use the alt.test group on there, to send, to reply to yourself, check what happens when a signature is present and so on. And then, go into your current tool, and read the messages you just posted, and see how they appear. That way, you won't lose your ability to use WLM, while you investigate a new newsreader. Port details (119 plaintext is good enough). http://www.aioe.org/ http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ HTH, Paul |

Survival is not mandatory." ~ W. Edwards Deming ~ I used OE for years. When I got this Win7 machine, I didn't care for WLMail for news. (It was barely tolerable for mail). You don't need Vista, just a file from it. I had been thinking about using a different newsreader for some time, (Like Agent or Gravity, etc.), but as MS dropped its news server, 99% of my posting is in forums now, so a newsreader is pretty much a moot point. Plus, I don't want the same program for news and mail. Canned (Using WinMail in Win7). First, you need access to a Vista machine. On the Win7 machine, find the "Windows Mail" folder in Program Files. Rename it to "OldWindows Mail" as a precaution. Using a Flash or CD, copy the "Windows Mail" folder in its entirety from the Vista machine. Go back to the Win7 machine and copy the "Windows Mail" from the Flash or CD to a location in Program Files. Open it and right click on the WinMail.exe file and send a shortcut to the Desktop. Done.
