Stonge

Hi,

Due to pressure being exerted at just the right points, I've *learned* that
I should use correct attribution when replying to posts...

Fair enough.

Now - does anyone know how to change the default attribution in Outlook
Express (Version 6.00.2800.1123 on Windows XP).

Thanks in advance.

I have...

but I'd like to remove (automatically) the crap just to leave:

"dwb" wrote

Which looks much better. I know I can do it manually, but I'll forget and I
don't want to upset you all further.

Google for OE-QuoteFix. It'll do this and more for you.

Try a different newsreader. Xananews is free, pretty slick and will be
familiar to OE users [1], Forte Agent is supposed to be good and
apparently well worth the extra to upgrade to the full version.

[1] Apparently an upgraded version with the url wrap problem sorted is
soon to be released. When Colin gets back from getting married
or something.

Yay! I have just discovered OE QuoteFix (thanks folks).. Looks miles better now. What I
want to know now is how do you get the top bit of your posts customised ,eg this bit;

I've just learned myself, you need to run the configuration tool (should be
running in the tray, double click it), then:

click "Quote Header Styles"
select 'News'
style = Custom
custom header = %n wrote:\n
(change this bit to your liking)

select OK
then select Hide to hide the config tool

I hope that this helps.
