Greetings... I'm looking for help from TK of

http://www.insideoe.com

and of course, I'll accept help from anybody
else here who knows the answer.

And I hope I haven't missed a FAQ somewhere
that answers my questions.

My problem is that sometimes OE v.6 does not
include my programmed reply characters when
I respond to a post on UseNet. If I understood
the FAQ at the above website, this is called the
"MIME/Quoted Printable design issue".

In the TOOLS section of the above website, I
found "OE-QuoteFix", and TK described this as...

"It also corrects the "design decision" that
prevents OE from properly formatting quoted
text that was sent as MIME/Quoted Printable."

Well, I installed OE-QuoteFix, and I configured
it many, many different ways, but nothing I do
has been able to add the missing "" reply
characters when I hit "Reply Group".

I am so tired of adding these characters to my
replies manually. Can anybody help? TK?
Anybody?

For Plain Text News, use MIME / None.

Thank you, Bruce, and yet I've already tried that.
I reasoned that it didn't work because it is a SEND
option and only means that my response will be
sent out in MIME with no encoding.

Besides spank me and call me Streisand, but I do
really prefer uuencode.

Any ideas as to what I can do to get OE to include
the reply characters? the 's? for all replies and
not just some of them?

If you reply to a post that used Quoted Printable, OE will not add the
carats. It was just designed that way. I don't know for sure, but I have
heard that a reply to someone using Google Groups will sometimes not
insert the carats even if the OP used MIME / None.

I have not used OE-QuoteFix, so I can't speak on that.

Thank you again, Bruce. That's just a little
confusing but I get your drift. We are, of
course, speaking of the "greater than sign"
or "", and not a "carat" or "^".

TK of the website i linked to above has said
that OE-QF would solve the problem and add
the 's back in when you hit "Reply Group".

The C++ author of OE-QF also says that the
design issue is solved by the software. But
I haven't been able to get it to work, yet.

Thank you for responding, though. I do very
much appreciate it!

Just out of curiosity, Bruce, when you hit
"Reply Group" to respond to my posts, does
your reader's font change in any way? I have
my OE news font set to 14 pt. Verdana, and
when I respond to someone who sends using
uuencode, the font is changed in my reply
window. (This doesn't usually happen, even
when I'm replying to MIME/Quoted Printable.)

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

I thought was a carat. Oh, well. I'm just a retired truck driver. g

My font never changes. It is set to 12pt. Ariel and that is what I see for
all posts, reading or replying. That is Plain Text posts. HTML will change
it.

I note that you reduced the word wrap for this post. Default is 76.

I think you know, but just to be sure, Tom Koch is the author of Inside OE.
Dominik Jain is the author of OE-QuoteFix.

There is a Help and FAQ area at the OE-QuoteFix site that /may/ help you.
Like I said, I have never used it, but I think you should be able to indent
a reply with just about any character you want with that program.
