Re: Blue line in reply to HTML message

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



The date and time was Tuesday, August 18, 2009 12:57:01 PM , and on a whim, minncal2002 pounded out on the keyboard:

We have a user that likes to put responses within the body of the received email. When an HTML email is recieved a blue line is placed down the side of the original message when reply is clicked. When the responses are placed in the body of the original email the blue line is staying with the response even though it isn't part of the original email. How do we get a break in that blue line? I have already suggested the "mark comment with", but they want to have that break as the differentiator between the original text and their response.

I use Thunderbird as my mail client. When I reply inline to an HTML email, the graphical quoting (the "blue line" you see) breaks whenever I press Enter a couple times to insert my text.

Interestingly, I just did the same logging in remotely to a network using OL2007. There were no quoting lines in the reply. Even when I set it to "prefix each line of the original message", there wasn't a quoting line.
