Small problem when replying or forwarding

When replying or forwarding, I'm missing the ">"-indetation from the
beginning of each row the forwarded/replied message???
(and yes, it IS checked in Settings->Sending-> both mail and newsgroups
"text settings")

Re: Small problem when replying or forwarding

Not heard of this before. The setting for mail is governed by a DWORD called
Indent Char under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live
Mail\mail
and its value should be hex 3E (decimal 62, ">"). Likewise for news. If
you're happy about tinkering with the registry, try changing it to, say, hex
7C ("|") with WLMail closed and see if that helps.

If Windows Live Mail is like MS Outlook Express, (and it duplicates many
other MSOE foibles), it won't add the ">" quote character when the message
you reply to, or forward, is HTML.

Re: Small problem when replying or forwarding

Not such a small problem, I have checked Include original message in reply, unchecked Reply to messages in the format they were sent, and checked Upload larger images when sending a photo e-mail. Both mail and news are sent in HTML - Settings - Quoted Printable with Allow 8-Bit characters in headers unchecked, Send pictures with messages is checked. Indent message on reply is unchecked for mail and checked for news. That gives me the long vertical bar and small indent in news and no indent or ">" in e-mail, but I have set and unset them several times with no effect. In order to get the indent with ">" Thomas might just be able to change his Plain Text Settings, restart WLM and reset them until it works right.
