    Quotefix for Live Mail?

    Has anyone developed a Quotefix equivalent for Live Mail? Replying to
    newsgroups is a bit of a mess like it is in Outlook Express, but I
    discovered Quotefix just a couple of months ago, just as I need to abandon
    Outlook Express (because of impending loss of Hotmail support).

    Quotefix basically fixes the replies so they looked something like this:

    Joe Blow wrote:

    > Random text
    > More random text
    >
    > Someone else wrote:

    >> more text
    >> more text
    >
    rather than leave in all the extraneous stuff like:

    "Joe Blow" <Joe@xxxxxx> wrote in message
    news:19990b11fbfwDFSe0d0cb99c13de@xxxxxx-helloway.com...

    I don't recall that OE-QuoteFix (OEQF) did anything regarding the
    trimming of attribution lines within the quoted material. It did, at
    one time, let you alter what attribution line that YOU added in your
    reply but that died after service pack 2 for Windows XP along with other
    functions in OEQF.

    Like OE, WLM doesn't let you specify what attribution line you will use
    in your replies. OEQF was abandoned 5 years ago. No one took it up to
    update it. The choice is to suffer with Microsoft's old and new
    NNTP-enabled offerings or use something else for newsgroups.

    I wrote its creator, Mr. Jain, about that sometime ago. No response.

    You might test a Mozilla mail client, such as Thunderbird (often teamed
    with the FireFox browser)...

    Or the mail element in the SeaMonkey browser suite, which is what I use
    here. No quote problems.

    Didn't Jain die (and that's why OEQF got abandoned)?

    Had not heard that...but it certainly would be a reason for his absence.
