Ah yes, and, if you have e-mail Stripper, you can get all of those greater than signs right out of there.

But every little bit helps. And when I am sending out a second generation message. Meaning, one that was sent to me as a new message. I can do my part to help prevent adding to that mess of grater signs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "alex Stone" <alex.stone@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2005 7:09 AM Subject: Re: Interesting E-mail Discovery Jack, There will be greater signs if there are greater signs in the message you're forwarding, this will merely prevent additional greater signs from being added.

S. I tried this and it worked. I unchecked that box and there are no grater signs in the message I forwarded to myself. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jack Lowe" <akronjack1982@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2005 6:49 AM Subject: Interesting E-mail Discovery Hi Everyone, You know how we've had these discussions about those darn grater signs? Well, I was doing some looking in my outlook express/options/send tab. I found a setting that I thought was rather interesting. Now, this won't help those of us on the receiving end of the E-mails, but it may help those who we forward messages to, or include the original message in the reply. Here's what I'm talking about... Hit Alt T for tools, then arrow up to options, hit enter, then control tab to send page. Tab until you hear, Plain Text settings, button, Alt E. So, hit alt E, then tab until you hear, indent the original text with check box checked. Now, tab once. You are now in a combo box, there are three choices you can arrow up and down through, grater, vertical bar, and colon. So, if you have your E-mail set to include the original text in a reply or forward, you can choose what will show up in the message. What I'm wondering is this. If you uncheck that box, does that mean there won't be any grater signs showing up in your forward or reply? And if so, why have it checked at all? As I said, this is in outlook express. I can't speak on any other E-mail providers. But, when you send forwards or replies, this looks like a good way to eliminate those grater signs from showing up in your messages.
