*sighs* I'm sure there's a way to hamstring this....

Outlook automatically replies to HTML messages in HTML, no matter how I try to turn it off.

Then, it won't let me insert blank (non-prefixed) lines below parts (ie, in the middle) of the message I'm replying to so I can reply to individual parts.

I'm sure I've done something screwball. Nonetheless, I want to say: FUCK THIS.

Ahem. 'Scuse. I gotta go beat on the email program. So far, the most promising technique seems to be "convert to text, losing ALL delineation of which is replied-to-text, then hand-insert such markers." I am not real pleased.

Update: Found a way to do it. Just "remove indent". Why yes, I associate a vertical bar with indent. Naturally. Grrrrr. Shouldn't it just do it when I hit enter, the way Eudora does? What a pain....

Try this. It works with Outlook Express & may also work with outlook. When replying to HTML mail, hit carriage return 3 times where you want to insert text. Then go up one line. Then use the button to "decrease indentation" (at least that's what my tooltip says in Outlook Express. You may have to repeat this procedure repeatedly if you are replying to something which is many generations old & has many layers of prefix bars (or whatecver they are called).
