Thanks Andrew,

I've found that with a very small effort and a little manual
configuration, I can produce a reasonably formatted post without
upsetting the modern conventions used by most of the others
within our business.

Having said that, I've applied QuoteFix on my Outlook Express at
home (some time in the past).  I'm reluctant to apply it on my
work computers, though - if our firewall even allows downloads
from SourceForge (it's a bit fussy in some very odd ways).

Regards,

Geoff
