Another problem emerging is that replies made from the website do not include the message the writer is responding to. I have not a clue what the response below means.

No criticism of the poster but this was the entire message:

I’m no expert on this, but I would say the answer to both of your questions are No and Yes.

I would have to go back through messages to find one that had two questions to find out what the questions were.

I’ve been wondering why this kind of message has been suddenly appearing on my lists. From experimenting with ways to work around the lack of forwarding, save, and print functions, I discovered that these are coming from people who read and reply online.

People are accustomed to the message being added below their comment. They don’t write messages that make sense independently. They have to paste the message into their reply. Not sure retraining will have any effect.

As far as an editor tool goes, if you train people to click on the quote button in the message editor (bubble to the left of the Formats pull-down on the menu bar), it will give the effect you want.

Of course, there is no way to force people to do that. The example you cited is an extreme one, but everyone has their own preferences on "quoting rules." This topic has been discussed at length here in GMF with no resolution in sight. People have to take ownership of how much (or how little) of the message they quote, whether it is placed at the top or the bottom, etc. This is not a problem that can be addressed by software.

P.S. You do realize that you have inadvertently hijacked the attachment topic to bring up an unrelated issue? Many people also consider this to be annoying behavior.

That would depend on whether they reply online or via an email client.? On the client, it would depend on their own settings.? On my client, I don't automatically quote, so it's the same as online.? That way, my usage is consistent across both displays and makes it easier for me to remember.? As Bruce said, using the 'quote' button is simple and adds one click when online.

The other option is to select the part of the message you want quoted before clicking Reply. Refer your members to this help:

Thank you. I think that works best, even though a bit counter intuitive — highlighting part of a separate message before replying to it in another message!

Thanks,
Sharon
