Default Outlook refuses to change font color on Replies & Forwards

For some unexplained reason Outlook will not apply a blue font color to
replies and forwards. I recently had to reformat my pc and re-install Outook
2003 - this issue has ocurred since I re-installed Outlook. Prior to this,
Outlook applied the blue font color to replies and forwards. I have been
into Tools and tried to force it, but nothing I do makes it happen. Thanks
in advance for any help.

Not what you are using, what is the format of the messages that you received?

It looks like the ones I am having trouble with are in Plain Text.

Plain text messages do not offer the option for coloring replies.
