Please fix it. It's his email client. Microsoft Lookout will no longer do standard quoting and forces top posting of replies. I am also required to use it by our IT department policies and have to manually reformat each message I reply to. There used to be an option that could be set to get angle bracket quoting, but that disappeared in the update from MS-Office 2000 to 2003. The top line, "-----Original Message-----", is the clue that he is using the Microsoft client. That is its standard separator for all replies. Yes, it is a major pain. I really do prefer Thunderbird.
