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? -- And loving it, -Qu0ll (Rare, not extinct) _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour@gmail.com [Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me]
