If people format their news messages in MIME printed quotable,

It works replying to other people's posts but not those using

Well, I use Agent 1.9 and my email text is quoted printable
MIME,
but
my usenet text is 7bit / 8bit. I forget. Do you quote my posts
with
indentation?

Yes I do and it indents correctly when I reply to you.
There are people it doesn'tt work for when I reply- Art Tandy,
Sheldon,
Lee, to name just three.


I'll send you an email too, so you can see if that gets quoted
any
differently, although if you're using Gmail and reading it in a
web browser, that could be different from reading it by POP and
answering
by SMTP. (Really, I don't know if it's different or how the
whole
thing works.)

"The baby's name is Shlomo. He's named after his grandfather,
Scott."

That's weird cos I use google groups& Shelly uses Thunderbird I
think

I use Thunderbird. My replies are sent in both plain text and in
HTML. I believe the server only accepts the plain text, so there
should not be any encoding on my posts.

Tilly, have you tried any other news reader to see if it solves
this
problem? You are the only one who has consistently had this
problem.
(I never had it when I used to use OE). Thunderbird and Agent are
both free, both look a lot like OE to the user, and would probably
solve this problem.

The problem only started a couple of months ago, it was fine before
I
went away.
It what's been done to the computer in the intervening time.

Like I said before, I uses OE-QuoteFix since you mentioned it, and I
no longer have the problem.

I tried OE Quotefix which is a program I have used since the day it
was
first introducedon my other computer , but for some reason it is
flipping out too on this computer. Somebody at work mentioned that he
knows others who have had problems with OE 6 since downloading IE8.
I am getting a new PC with Windows 7 so the problem will be non
existent
soon.

What news reader/email client will you be using on the Windows 7
machine? OE does not come with Windows 7, so unless you decide to use
Outlook, you will have to download something.

I also have Thunderbird and Firefox on my old computer.
I will probably use those.

Maybe you could get a head start and start using them now. :-)

I have a new computer in the works in the basement, but moving
everything from this one to it will take 2 to 5 hours, maybe even more
if there are problems, and I have to find a block of time to do it.
So for a while I stopped making even 3-minute changes to this one,
figuring I'd do it on the new one, but this migration has dragged on
so now I do the little changes to the old one.

You do know about File and Settings Transfer Wizard, don't you?

There is also a program to transfer all Mozilla bookmarks, mailboxes,
tabs, windows, options, settings, the data that autofills the location
bar, etc. for Firefox, Netscape, Thunderbird, everything by Mozilla.
I can point you to that program if you don't know about it.

By using both, just before you migrate if possible, your new computer
will start off much much more like your old computer.

(It also means changes I make to my old computer are likely to be
carried over to the new one (which in my case is just going from XP
Home to Pro. If I were moving from Home to Home or Pro to Pro, I'd use
Acronis True Image Home with is free and has a 30 dollar add-on that
will correct for changes in hardware when moving all one's files to a
computer with different hardware, needing different drivers.
