But, one little-big problem remains, even in Outlook 2010: how do you configure preamble to message quotation so it looks properly in the standard format of "John Smith wrote:", like here:

Even with your suggested configuration, Outlook always uses forward-like format:

I used to chop it off as part of my normal pruning of quoted content.

Yes, that's what I do as well, when I have to use the Outlook.

I don't believe anyone on this list ever noticed the fact the preamble was missing :)

I notice. Quoting without attribution can lead to confusion. Accessing previous posts on this device is awkward, if they still render (which generally is not the case), so discovering the author of a quote is frequently not possible. When I do use Outlook, from work, I select the sender's name, from the verbose header block, and then add "wrote:" to form the attribution.

You might notice the preamble is missing on this reply too. It's quicker for me to chop more context than less, so I do. I suspect so do most people with high inbound email counts.

Sure thing. I chop things as well, but the preamble is sometimes helpful, especially if a thread has many participants.

Quoting the minimum needed is always a good idea, but removing attributions is a step too far. ___ Rob (Sent from my portable computation engine)
