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.

I'm presently trying Thunderbird, and I reckon it comes a pretty good
second (or maybe third) to Demon's Turnpike (which I've had for the past
15 years). If I change ISP from Demon, I think I would probably use it.
[Thunderbird is free, and Turnpike would then cost me £200!]

I also had a 30 day trial of Forte Agent. While it might have been a
little more all-embracing than Thunderbird, I didn't really explore many
of its features before the 30 days expired.

BTW, does Quotefix fix anything with Windows Live Mail?
