Great pointer about the Quotefix program! I downloaded, installed - runs
just as I want, having to reformat was getting to be a major pain in the
a**. But oddly enough, it has a also has a line wrap option! I checked
it from my Webmail and seems to work fine, I'm sure I'll be corrected if
it didn't.

Question: How do you get the sender to show in the header? Mine just
displays "thelist at ..." instead of the original sender's name and email.

And Emma, thank you for the link on obtaining thread view in Outlook -
in two easy steps, my mailing-list experience has been completely
transformed!
