    I find OE-QuoteFix and Outlook-QuoteFix do a nice job of making
    Outlook Express and Outlook, respectively, more standards compliant in
    this regard. In addition to fixing up the message quoting syntax to what
    Matt described, they also cleanly handle line wraps. In short, they make
    life much easier for those of us tied to Windows boxes at the office.
