I've noticed this when replying to some messages in newsgroups.
Every now and again when replying to a newsgroup message the ""
does not appear in front of the quoted text of the message being
replied to. Would I be right in assuming the messages being replied
to were posted in html or odd text format? It's rather annoying
when one has to manually put all the ""s in front of quoted text so
as not to confuses the reader.

Any suggestions?

Get a better news client? Seriously, this is one of several
annoyances which appears to be unique to MSOE. See Bruce Hagen's
reply for the explanation of, "why". I am not sure if you can
override MSOE's propensity to "respond in kind", keying on the
sender's choice of encoding. Or if OEQuotefix will fix this problem:

What a champion! Yes - OEQuotefix does fix the problem. Nice to know it
wasn't just me doing something wrong.
Thanks Norman.
