Great tip Jon! Thanks!

I don't use OL or OLE so I had no idea this was that easy to do but I have a lot
of subscribers on my email lists that use these programs and complain about
editing their replies. Now I can pass this method along to them.

Subscribers to email lists really do need to take some responsibility to keep
their messages as concise as possible to make it easy for the reader; posting
replies on top and then including ALL of the thread underneath is complete
laziness.
