This is not a new behavior with OE 6, just a question I've been meaning to
ask forever. When I respond to most email messages, OE puts a long vertical
line next to the original quoted text. If I want to intersperse my response
with the original text, the vertical line doesn't break when I hit the
return key. So, unless I format my text differently, it just blends in with
the original.

If I change my replay's format to plain text, the vertical line vanishes,
but it's not replace by anything, so that doesn't help.

Is there a way to force OE to use the arrow sign in quoted text, instead
of that damned line? Or, is there a way to break the line when hitting the
return key? Maybe a key combo I'm not aware of?
