Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 4.0, 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When you compose a reply in Outlook to an Internet mail message, the original message text, as well as comment lines embedded into original message text, gets marked with the greater than sign. That is, when you reply to an Internet mail message and embed your responses in the body of the reply text, all of the text gets prefixed with the greater than sign.

For example:


   > Hi Shannon,
   > Did you win the ball game?
   >
   > [Shannon Boyd] Yes, by a landslide!

This should be:


   > Hi Shannon,
   > Did you win the ball game?
   >

   [Shannon Boyd] Yes, by a landslide!
