The ability to add the sender's message to the end of your message is a default in Outlook Express; to turn it off, you would need to go to the list of messages in your in-box or other box, then press alt to get into the menus, and then do the following: Right arrow a few times to get to tools. Up arrow twice to options. Press enter. Shift-tab once to get to the list of tabs. Right arrow a few times to get to send. Tab till you find "include message in reply." If you want the message in the reply, be sure the box is checked; if not, uncheck the box; (space bar works in most screen readers.) Tab to apply and press space bar to apply the new settings. Shift-tab a couple times to Ok. Press space bar to press the OK button.
