Outlook is a PITA. As you can see, it breaks the lines in quotings. Hard
to read, because any mail readers can colored different quoting planes.
Disgusting.

I think, you have any other problems with this crappy software. For
instance, Outlook can't group messages by Message-IDs (Treading). For
mailing-lists IMHO a no-go.

Pine isn't a solution, mutt is a solution for instance. KMail is a
solution, and Thunderbird, both for Linux and Windows.
(and any other software, i'm a mutt-user)

No problem, but i'm not sure, if this the right way. YOU can't force all
other people to omit things that make problems in your crappy software.
And: YOU renounce for nice feature in modern software...
