Hello all

I have tried Outlook-QuoteFix with Outlook 2003 (from Office Pro and Office
Standard), without luck; it just not do anything. All I really want is that
signature move bottom of replied message. Now I have tried this at work and
home, but no luck.

Outlook-QuoteFix Compatibility notes told that it has been successfully
tested with Outlook 2003. Any ideas why I cannot get it work?

Tested with MS Office Outlook 2003 SP 2, Outlook-QuoteF v0.90 and v0.91 RC1

Outlook-Quotefix doesn't work correctly with Outlook 2003. Over 18
months ago I had referring to this contact to the author of this
program. He told me that he will fix the problems as soon as possible.
But nothing happend... :-(

I use it with Outlook 2003 every single day and it works perfectly.  Perhaps
the issue is that it's designed to work only with Plain Text messages
(that's documented) and you're trying to use it with HTML or Rich Text
messages.

That's the problem. In Outlook 2000/2002 Outlook-Quotefix worked
perfectly with all formats. In Outlook 2003 it obviously still works
fine with Text-Mails but not with mails that have been composed in html.

Not that I'm aware.  The web site explicitly states that it works only for
Plain Text and that's always been true for me no matter what version of
Outlook I used.

I have used this tool only with Outlook 2000 and it worked properly with
Text- _and_ HTML-Mails. When I have upgraded to Outlook 2003 (I have
never used Outlook 2002 on my own machines) the tool did not work
correctly anymore with HTML-Mails.

With plaintext mails also does not work very well...
If original From: header (as shown by OL2k3) is long, eg:

abcdef-bounces@aaaa.bbbbb.ccc.ddd.xx; on behalf of; Agnes Figuerra
eeeeee@fffff.ccc.ddd.xx]

what in a reply is formatted by OL like this

> From: abcdef-bounces@aaaa.bbbbb.ccc.ddd.xx
> [mailto:abcdef-bounces@aaaa.bbbbb.ccc.ddd.xx] On Behalf Of
> Agnes Figuerra

Quotefix converts it to

abcdef-bounces@aaaa.bbbbb.ccc.ddd.xx <>
wrote on :
<>

what is not exactly one would like to have ;-)

Why not?  It reflects the actual sender.  Besides, you can adjust what
Quotefix displays, so make it something you like.

I've just seen that a new version of Outlook-Quotefix has been released
(after nearly 3 years interval). Please forget what I have written in my
previous postings :-(. I will install it and I will see if it works how
I expect it. :-)

Well that it could be, since at my work almost everybody use those rtf/html
-messages. But I have already set "read as plain" (or what it might be in
English, I use Finnish version) but maybe that is not enough? So that's it
then?

Sorry, I don't know.  Certainly Read As Plain works for me.  Perhaps because
because Quotefix assumes English and you're using Finnish that there's a
little discrepancy.
