Actually, the only one of those choices that will allow almost allow 
correct bottom quoting is "Prefix each line of the original message", 
and even that is not really correct. As usual, Outlook violates 
well-established standards and only allows you to make it partly behave. 
More details on this and other problems and quirks of Outlook, see the 
best email guide on the Internet that i know

which also has info for most other major email programs.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
