What follows is the same as my last mail, except that I'm telling it to strip the formatting, so it should demonstrate my point. -- NB Excerpts from internet.info-andrew: 17-Mar-91 (Probably) Dumb Question Brian Capouch@zeta.saint (396) > I wonder if there's any way to have Andrew, when it is excerpting a mail > message into a message-composition window, to put the little > greater-than signs at the left of each line? > I send a lot of mail to non-Andrew sites, and it seems there should be > some easy way to do this. Yes, in fact, it is so easy that it is -- ta-ta -- automatic! If you use the "Excerpt Body" feature, which I assume is what you're talking about, the excerpt appears to YOU to be indented and in italics. however, if you're sending it to a non-Andrew user, and you choose "send without formatting", this style will get replaced by one that does, in fact, use the leading ">" at the beginning of the line. You can see what this looks like, from the sending window, with the "Preview Non Andrew" menu (from the "Other" menu card), choosing "formatting removed" from the dialog box that will appear when you select that menu. Hope that helps. -- Nathaniel
