This is not the fault of LSoft, its Exchange's doing. You will have to add a registry entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet \Services \MSExchangeIMC \Parameters Name: UseRTFText type: RegDWORD Value: 0 This will prevent it from adding the ">" signs to all outgoing messages. Note that this will mean every message you reply to or forward, or any messages which you paste text into, will not have the ">" in front of it for all your clients. It does solve the problems of being able to reply to PUTs though. Cheers, Russ R.C. Consulting, Inc. - NT/Internet Security owner of the NTBugTraq mailing list: http://ntbugtraq.rc.on.ca/index.html
