Greetings... I'm looking for help from TK of
http://www.insideoe.com
and of course, I'll accept help from anybody
else here who knows the answer.
And I hope I haven't missed a FAQ somewhere
that answers my questions.
My problem is that sometimes OE v.6 does not
include my programmed reply characters when
I respond to a post on UseNet. If I understood
the FAQ at the above website, this is called the
"MIME/Quoted Printable design issue".
In the TOOLS section of the above website, I
found "OE-QuoteFix", and TK described this as...
"It also corrects the "design decision" that
prevents OE from properly formatting quoted
text that was sent as MIME/Quoted Printable."
Well, I installed OE-QuoteFix, and I configured
it many, many different ways, but nothing I do
has been able to add the missing ">" reply
characters when I hit "Reply Group".
I am so tired of adding these characters to my
replies manually. Can anybody help? TK?
Anybody?
For Plain Text News, use MIME / None.

Thank you, Bruce, and yet I've already tried that.
I reasoned that it didn't work because it is a SEND
option and only means that my response will be
sent out in MIME with no encoding.
Besides spank me and call me Streisand, but I do
really prefer uuencode.
Any ideas as to what I can do to get OE to include
the reply characters? the >'s? for all replies and
not just some of them?
If you reply to a post that used Quoted Printable, OE will not add the
carats. It was just designed that way. I don't know for sure, but I have
heard that a reply to someone using Google Groups will sometimes not
insert the carats even if the OP used MIME / None.
I have not used OE-QuoteFix, so I can't speak on that.

Thank you again, Bruce. That's just a little
confusing but I get your drift. We are, of
course, speaking of the "greater than sign"
or ">", and not a "carat" or "^".
TK of the website i linked to above has said
that OE-QF would solve the problem and add
the >'s back in when you hit "Reply Group".
The C++ author of OE-QF also says that the
design issue is solved by the software. But
I haven't been able to get it to work, yet.
Thank you for responding, though. I do very
much appreciate it!
Just out of curiosity, Bruce, when you hit
"Reply Group" to respond to my posts, does
your reader's font change in any way? I have
my OE news font set to 14 pt. Verdana, and
when I respond to someone who sends using
uuencode, the font is changed in my reply
window. (This doesn't usually happen, even
when I'm replying to MIME/Quoted Printable.)
I thought > was a carat. Oh, well. I'm just a retired truck driver. <g>
No problemo, Bruce. I've driven some truck
myself. Small world?
My font never changes. It is set to 12pt. Ariel and that is what I see for
all posts, reading or replying. That is Plain Text posts. HTML will change
it.
I note that you reduced the word wrap for this post. Default is 76.
That's the OE-QF doing it. My OE is always set to
76, and I reset OE-QF to 76 for this post. (It was
defaulted to 70, and I upped that to 72 when I
first installed it.)
I think you know, but just to be sure, Tom Koch is the author of Inside
OE. Dominik Jain is the author of OE-QuoteFix. There is a Help and FAQ
area at the OE-QuoteFix site that /may/ help you.
Yes, and I've been thru 'n thru Dominik's material.
The only thing I found was a vague...
"Quoting of Quoted-Printable, Base64 and even
HTML messages is finally possible."
....on his "Features" page. Tom says he uses OE-QF,
and he was specific...
"It also corrects the "design decision" that
prevents OE from properly formatting quoted
text that was sent as MIME/Quoted Printable."
....and yet I haven't been able to figure out how the
software should be configured to do it.
Like I said, I have never used it, but I think you should be able to
indent a reply with just about any character you want with that program.
