Do not append > character on reply/forward

Keep Replies and Forwards uncluttered 

Every time a message is forwarded or replied to, the > character gets added to the head of each line by default. Some messages have 2, 3 or more of these characters in front of each line. To turn these off, open the Outlook Express main screen: 

1) Click on Tools, then Options. This opens the options window. 

2) Click on the Send tab, and go to the 'Mail Sending Format' section. 

·         If you have HTML selected as your Mail Sending Format, click on the HTML button. Uncheck the 'Indent message on reply' checkbox. 

If you have 'Plain Text' selected as your Mail Sending Format, click on the ‘Plain Text’ button. Uncheck the 'Indent the original text with' checkbox.
