Thanks in advance matthias >=20 >=20 >=20 I see.... So I try to follow the rules and bottom post, and apparently I S= TILL don't do it right....?????? (SIGH).... SERIOUSLY!!!!! I use Outlook. I write something and hit reply - period. = I am NOT going to take the time to scroll back in the message and add ">" o= r some other delimiter to every line. MAYBE next time I'll make a one line= comment or something to delineate the OP and my reply - MAYBE!!!! Or MAYB= E you can just deal with it? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to follow = the thread! Some people on here are SO freaking ridiculous - finding every possible thi= ng to complain about regarding grammar, semantics, policies vs. focusing on= the SPIRIT of this and other user lists - HELPING PEOPLE!!!! Before you (= whomever) fires off an email bitching about something, please keep in mind = that NO one is forcing anyone to be here, and people (such as myself) are t= aking their time to TRY to help others. If all we ever receive is worthles= s criticism because we don't follow the policy to the letter, maybe we'll s= top trying to help - and if enough do that then what? I'm on one of those = lists now where I'm one of the only ones that replies to peoples questions = and tries to help. Guess what? NO ONE bitches at me (or anyone) for how w= e reply because they APPRECIATE the HELP!!!! WTF PEOPLE!!!???? Get over yourselves! If you don't like how I (or anyone= ) formats their post / reply - build yourself a nice little filter so you d= on't have to see such grievous errors that cause you SO much pain and disco= mfort! I have ZERO control over what my corporate MTA's add to my message. Deal w= ith it. And next time you want to bitch at someone, perhaps you could take the time= to spell their name correctly? Hello? Pot, this is Kettle... I appreciate your kindly worded request, and I will CONSIDER making an effo= rt to address your concerns in the future.
