E-mail Quoted WordMail Template
The quoting settings in the Internet Mail Enhancement Patch for Microsoft Outlook 97 do not apply to WordMail (the use of Microsoft Word as the e-mail editor in Outlook). Instead, you can use the E-mail Quoted WordMail Template, a Microsoft Word 97 template that includes a macro for adding a ">" in front of text to follow the Internet convention for quoting from incoming messages.

The line length settings in the IMEP patch do apply to messages composed with WordMail.

This freeware program was provided as-is by Jensen Harris. No tech support questions, please.

Usage

 When you reply to a message, it will open in the new template. Press ALT+F8 and run the MakeTextQuoted macro to put a ">" character in front of the text of the message you're replying to. Or you can click the button that's added to the Formatting toolbar. It looks like a speech bubble with a ">" under it.
