Most "good" news readers yes, but not this one.  I upgraded to the latest 
version of Windows Live Mail and it is the sorriest piece of utter crap I 
have ever seen.  It used to insert said dashes but then again it used to put 
a '>' in front of quoted lines (I now have to insert them manually) and do a 
bunch of other things which have been removed.

Time for a different news reader it seems.  Any suggestions?
