[ILUG] Replacement suggestions for Exchange outlook web email please.... [totally pedantic response to Colm Buckley... completely off topic... most likely you don't want to read this]

[Reilly, John]

You've said before that there is an exchange server in your place, therefore
you probably use Outlook.....you can get it to quote sensibly.

- Click on "Tools",  "Options"
- On the preferences tab (The first one), click "Email Options"
- In the on replies and forwards section, set each of "on reply" and "on
forward" to "prefix each line of the message"
- Set the prefix to "> "
