Thanks to you and all others for answers.
I used OE years ago with the help of OE-Quotefix but well ... that was
a poor solution.
That's why i finally found that newsreader called MesNews i'm now been
using for years, also existing in many different languages.
But for some reason, i need to use WLM for answering to a few groups.
As i understand the answers, i have no real solution with WLM except in
adding the >'s one by one ; i've looked at the other solutions but they
seem to me being what we call in France (where i'm living) "a gasplant"
because way too heavy for a so small use !
So, i think i'll keep my very dear MesNews for the 99% of my answers
and considering the 1% i need WLM for, i'll do it by hand, thanks to
Microsoft.
