[X4U] Vertical lines in mail

[John McClernan]

Au contraire, Linda. I just tested your theory and the message I sent  
to my work address from Mail had no quoting at all when it arrived in  
Entourage, no brackety thingies, nothing.
I get mail all the time from people who I am sure are not using Mail,  
because they have PCs, and it does have the brackety thingies when it  
shows up in my Inbox in Mail.
Here is an excerpt of one I received today in my Mail Inbox from a  
friend who uses winders on a PC. There were two rows of brackety  
thingies and no lines.
Cheers,
John
