Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I have a question for the computer nerds out there. ? You are one, right? I use Outlook Express for my email. When I reply to a post, I type my response above the post I'm replying to(most of the time), and then I have to neaten up the stuff I'm replying to, as it is full of >>>>, and not wrapped nicely, so that takes more time and it's a pain in the butt. Any suggestions to making it easier? Jeanne in WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Sorry Jeanne but I'm not a computer nerd....my IQ is NO where near that LOL Wish I could help but maybe someone else in the group will know the answer for you! Good luck N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 HI Jeanne, I put my cursor on something I want to delete, click once than drag it along far as you need. Then hit delete. Not sure if it works in Outlook Express though. Does work here on site. Debbie J > > I have a question for the computer nerds out there. ? You are one, right? > > I use Outlook Express for my email.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Check the settings in the mail options. I think you can remove those >>> from taking place.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Jeanne, I agree with Debbie - that's what I do too - just highlight everything you don't want and hit delete.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Yes, that is what I do to delete. But I'm looking for an easier way to clean up the message I'm replying to. I don't want to delete it because people need to know what I'm replying to.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Thanks. I tried switching one thing in the sending options. We'll see if it helps.
