I have just started using windows live mail after many years of
using Outlook express for email and newsgroups and am stuck!

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.

Agent has got a ****ed UI which sees too many asking how to do stuff.

If it had a more intuitive UI they wouldnt be doing that.

It is still worth learning how to use Agent and using it.

I dont agree. I cant be bothered with ****ed UIs.

Whatever a ****ed UI is.

I already told you. Too many have to ask how to do basic stuff.

Your loss.

Nope.

The other thing I insist on is the same UI for email and usenet.

Agent has the same UI for both.

Sure, I meant that not all of them do.
