SYMPTOMS

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(s) in "Prefix each line with."
  5. Click OK three times to close the Options.
