Hi,
If you wish to reply using quotes from the original email, no need to copy to
word and back. You should be able to edit directly inside of OE. just copy and
paste like normal while inserting your own text. Works great. That is what I do.
As for making this automated, no suggestion there.

I just survived a weekend-long flame war on another list that resulted
from a debate over how a message should be posted: top-posted,
bottom-posted, or inline with contextual quotations. (I think I still
have second-degree burns. Ouch!) I had no idea the culture of some
lists is so sensitive to this.
So I'm wondering whether there is a function or add-on for Outlook
Express that makes it easy for a totally blind person using JAWS to
take snippets of a prior message in a string and to cut&paste such
snippets into one's own reply. I've seen this done before; but to do
it myself, I've needed to export the original message to a Word
processing program, do manual editing inside of it (as with Microsoft
Word), and then paste the result back into the body of a new e-mail
message. The only way I've known to reply automatically with any
context in Outlook Express is through bottom- or top-posting.
What is the best way for doing this? Or should I switch to another
e-mail client such as Thunderbird?
Kind regards,
-Kane
