Boy, your newsreader formats your replies funny. It's pretty
confusing as to which part is a quote and which is your reply.
Usually the quotes are marked, e.g., with a "" before each line,
and new text not.

Some are, some are not. I have not worked out why and when. Cannot
say that I am preoccupied with it.

"A major weakness in OE is the way it handles (or mishandles) original
text that is quoted in a reply. The problem is readily apparent in any
newsgroup message which includes several levels of quoting.
OE-QuoteFix is a freeware utility that greatly improves OE's quoting.
Not only does it ensure that your replies will have properly
formatted text, it also allows you to color code each level of
replies in a message. It also corrects the "design decision" that
prevents OE from properly formatting quoted text that was sent as
MIME/Quoted Printable..."

Thanks for the constructive advice. I have downloaded it and will see how it
goes. Having doen a few "sham" replies I found on one occasion that it
scrambled the order of the quotes. Is that usual?
