It doesn't happen.  You should be snipping as you go along anyway.  If
you're getting five levels deep of quoting, it's time to get more
aggressive with snipping and expressive with your responses because
you're not getting through.

Well, the thing is, it's just basic MIME.  Nothing fancy.  OE is the
*only* mail client that I know of that doesn't handle MIME right.
Please see Karsten's webpage about this (he posted it earlier
tonight), it explains the problem at depth.

Never mind the developer was probably going for efficiency, not
necissarily intuitiveness.  You probably know how to type well, but it
probably took you time to learn.  You do not have the right to go
through life with people holding your hand forcing them to do all the
thinking for you.

Any rate, you might want to take a look at kmail.  It has a lot of the
features of mutt, in a UI that's similar to OE, without the problems
of OE.  Think of it as OE done the right way.

Did MIT recently sell out to AOL?
