Howdy!

In Outlook, I go to File->Options->Mail and scroll down to Replies and
forwards.

I have two menus for When replying to a message and When forwarding a message.

Each has an option to prefix each line of the original message, and
the default is >.

yours,
Michael

So I've spent the day getting new apps installed, getting them logged in (unsuccessfully for phone and tablet) and then trying to get used to Outlook.  (And the fact that all the folders we previously had haven't been moved over as promised so I now have 7769 emails in my inbox.  <weeps quietly>)

I can type in amongst an email to reply to it, but I can't believe I have to type some kind of marker at each point to signify the lines from the email I'm replying to.  I've gone through all the settings and can't see it either.  But I'm sure I'll work it out.  Please forgive me however if I'm much slower than usual or much uglier than usual or just generally incompentent.
