Thank you, Diane. However, I am still curious. Why can't the user simply
manually select the prefix character, like any other character, and delete
it? We don't seem to be able to drag or shift-arrow over the character to
select and delete it.

Thanks

you'd have to use find and replace to remove the reply characters.

Thank you for the reply, Bill. I recognize that this is where the option
is enabled or disabled, but how do you remove the prefix after it has
been placed there? We want to leave the feature enabled, but are curious
whether the prefix can be manually removed once it is placed into the
reply or forwarded email.

Thanks

news When forwarding an email, how do we remove the prefix character,
attached to the front of each line of the quoted email, without
changing the prefix configuration? Isn't there a way to remove just
the column of prefixes? Alternatively, is there a way to resubmit the
email, so it appears as an original, versus forwarding the email? All
we want to do is send the same email, with a few changes, to another
distribution group as if it were an original.
