I did this and the original msg is prefixed with ">" but my signature is above 
it and and I have to fiddle around cutting and pasting so that I get the 
format a bit like this reply, which was done using the web interface to my 
POP3 account. Note how, in the E-mail optinos dialog, the little icons 
indicating how the mail will be laid out always have the black (reply ) above 
the blue (original) -- I want it the other way round! Clicking on the icons 
does nothing -- but they _do_ have a help text: "This graphic does nothing"...

As for Outlook being horrible, yeah, it is, but I'm stuck as NSMail won't 
reimport my e-mail -- it seems they changed theMAPI interface (or something) 
between Outlook 97 and Outlook 2000.

*grrr*

To drag this back on-topic: what we need is a quality mail reader for the Beeb
