[X4U] Vertical lines in mail

[John McClernan]

Murray,
That's Apple's version of "quote level". Each line represents another  
generation of forwarding. I don't know of any way to turn that off  
completely, though there is probably a way to do it in Terminal.app   
However, you can change a preference setting so that your forwarding  
does not INCREASE the quote level.

Under the "Mail" menu, choose preferences. Click on the "Composing"  
button in the toolbar of the preferences window that opens and then  
look for the line that says "Increase quote level" and remove the  
check that is in the box. It's under the "Responding" category.

If you receive a mail that already has the line (obviously from a  
Mail.app user) drag your cursor over the text that has the line and  
go up to the "Format" menu at the top of your screen and slide down  
to "Quote Level" and choose "Decrease". That command will usually  
remove the quote line from text but it doesn't always remove it from  
graphics/pictures.

Cheers,
John

I have Apple Mail and use it with Leopard 2.1

I notice when I want to forward mail onto another person, vertical  
lines form before the first letter of each line of the message.  
Please tell me there's an easy way of removing these annoying looking  
critters?
