Sorry, but you do not have my sympathy. I have been doing this manually for
years, and I see no reason why you should be exempt from the extra effort.
For the record, why cannot you change Outlook so that you can hilight the
text you want quoted, and quote just that text? OE on the Mac offers this
option, as does just about every other Mac email program, with the possible
exception of Netscape Communicator.
In any case, taking the extra effort to clean up an email before sending it
is a simple courtesy that you should do to simplify reading for the reader.
