I have just started using windows live mail after many years of using Outlook express for email and newsgroups and am stuck!
Can anyone tell me how to get it to insert the > symbols before the old text in my replies?

Apparently you can't Mike. There was a fair bit of discussion on this in the Windows 7 groups when Windows 7 first came out for general use.
This was one of the reasons I ditched Windows 7 and reverted back to XP (and Outlook Express 6).

You could use Thunderbird
The easy way? Use Thunderbird or MS Outlook.
OE had Quotefix available, but it won't work on WLM, and OE won't install easily on Windows 7.
Or agent. WLM is not fit for purpose as a newsreader.
I think you'll find that the last three words are redundant. HTH.
diwnload Thunderbird and totally utterly forget windows mail, which has been going backwards for years.
Agreed. Thunderbird is not that great, but its usable for this sort of banter.
I didn't think Outlook had a newsreader?
you can't with WLM v15, but if you sear there are instructions and downloads out there for removing v15 an installing the older v14 which does quoting properly ....
old M$ Live installer ...
As I said Jim, it was one of the reasons - there were a few other things that I disliked with Windows 7 anyway.
As for Thunderbird, I tried that a few years ago when I went back to the local college for four years to learn how to play with and repair computers (I got bored with retirement) - but I preferred the way that Outlook Express did things and went back to it.

Thunderbird has moved on a bit since then I guess, but in any case it does not make a good newsreader, but then neither did OE. There are far better newsreaders around. I use 40tude Dialog and Xnews, but admit that neither of them is 'easy'. I would suggest Microplanet Gravity. Agent is good too, but not free.
This is WLM on win7. I didn't put the > in manually. So apparently you can (but I forget how).
That works for me. Thanks Andy.

I think it depends on which version or live mail you have. I think 2009 does it but 2011 does not. Brian

I'm using the 2011 version and wlmquote works just fine for me.
