I usually do, my earlier message was to show the best possible *automatic*
configuration under Outlook, and I top-posted intentionally to keep the
automatically formatted text totally separate from my comments about how I
made Outlook do that, so other Outlook users would know what to shoot for.  

That was what a person would get with the "right" settings in Outlook,
beyond that it is up to the author to edit the message to get the rest of
the way to the "normal" conventions I made this post conform to.   I've got
to edit the MS generated "starting point" a bit more than I would with a
compliant client to remove the irrelevant stuff it sticks in (or stretches
over 7 lines where one would do) and the little details it garbles.

Replying off-list is a bit easier, as I'll just strip all the header info
and let the nesting track the 2 party conversation on its own.
