Do you have to individually put them there yourself, or are they just part
of WLM ?

I put them in. Since I don't indent it's easy to add them just to the
previous post, or part thereof.

LOL, Lyndon....So that was what Janet meant when she said

without indents...:-)

I am definately going to look around for a new newsreader.....I used to like
Outlook Express, and I see that some still use it!.....Does anyone know how
I could get and use it with Windows 7 ?

To my mind there is a big difference between 'indentless' - without indents,
and 'indent less' - use fewer indents, so I agree with Janet's use. It is
acceptable to me to construct a word, when the meaning is clear and
unambiguous from the component parts.

I think we are all responsible for the readability of our own messages. If
it is not readable, it is not worth writing it. If it only requires a little
editing of the quoted text to make it readable, then so be it.

Why not use a newsreader that puts quote marks in automatically? All
newsreaders apart from Windows Live Mail are automatic.

Because they produce messages that begin like this, before you get to
anything relevant:

I don't think the amount of editing you have to do is any less than that
which I do, so can't see the advantage of getting a different reader.

I don't have to any editing at all but I can if I need to. Just as in
a word processor.

Yeahbut, if you don't edit at all, you get the mess that I referred to
earlier in the thread. So we both edit in order to produce something
readable.

If I have to edit anyway, I find WLM to be as good as anything else.

[Stephen Wolstenholme]

I click the reply button and add my comment. No editing at all.

I think we can draw the obvious conclusion.

Nope. Prefixes and suffixes join straight onto their root word, with no
gap.

Your ignorance is endless.

It's correct usenet protocol, to edit quoted posts and place your
response in such a position that other readers can see which poster's
remark you're responding to, and (in a long conversation) save everyone
scrolling pages to reach a oneline reply.

Microsoft (xx) I will choose Forte Agent. :-)

The only editing I had to do in order to reply to this post was to delete a
blank line that appears in front of your sig at the top of this email.

If I were Joan and replying to your post, she would just type in that blank
line. I don't do that because I hate seeing replies above the text to which
a reply is being given.

I agree. I only make an exception for Joan because I'm a sapiosexual,
and she used to have fabulous legs and drive race cars.

(It's mainly the race cars that does it). ;-)

My opinion (unasked for) is that you are an interesting and
wonderful poster, and I don't care HOW you post or what you use to
do it.

BUT don't you think that even though we prefer bottom posting, we
can be flexible?
