OL2000: (CW) Unexpected Line Breaks with Reply Ticking Enabled

ID: Q195774

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Outlook 2000


NOTE: These procedures only apply if you have installed Outlook with the Corporate Workgroup/Other option. This option allows you to use Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) services. To determine your installation type, on the Help Menu click About Microsoft Outlook. In About Microsoft Outlook you should see "Corporate" if you have the Corporate Workgroup installation.

SYMPTOMS

When you reply to or forward a message received via the Internet using the Internet E-mail service in Microsoft Outlook 2000, and have reply ticking enabled, the line breaks do not remain the same as in the original message.


MORE INFORMATION

The symptom described above is not affected by the message format, sending format, or the "wrap text at X characters per line" setting.

When you reply to or forward a message, Outlook allows you to prefix each line of text of the original message with a character, such as an angle bracket (>). This is known as reply ticking.

To enable reply ticking, follow these steps:

  1. On the Tools menu, click Options.


  2. On the Preferences tab, click E-mail Options.


  3. Click "Prefix each line of the original message" in either the "When replying to a message" list or "When forwarding a message" list.


  4. Type the desired character in "Prefix each line with."


  5. Click OK and OK to close the Options.
