Can anyone tell me how to get it to insert the symbols before the
old text in my replies?

Apparently you can't Mike. There was a fair bit of discussion on
this in the Windows 7 groups when Windows 7 first came out for
general use.

This was one of the reasons I ditched Windows 7 and reverted back to
XP (and Outlook Express 6).

You could use Thunderbird

As I said Jim, it was one of the reasons - there were a few other things
that I disliked with Windows 7 anyway.

As for Thunderbird, I tried that a few years ago when I went back to the
local college for four years to learn how to play with and repair computers
(I got bored with retirement) - but I preferred the way that Outlook Express
did things and went back to it.

Thunderbird has moved on a bit since then I guess, but in any case it does
not make a good newsreader, but then neither did OE.
There are far better newsreaders around. I use 40tude Dialog and Xnews, but
admit that neither of them is 'easy'. I would suggest Microplanet Gravity.
Agent is good too, but not free.
