Correctly formatting Outlook mail?

1999-08-16 14:06:37
Does anyone have a set of recipes that will correctly format Microsoft
Outlook mail?  Outlook, in typical Microsoft form, cannot quote
correctly.  It also encourages upside-down replys.  This bugs the crap
out of me.

Here's an example of an outlook-formatted reply:

====

[headers]

did you mean to send this to Foo Barr?

Hey R, your mail is set to HTML.  Just so you know.

As you can imagine, replying to this and retaining some context, while
still knowing who wrote what, is really difficult.  I'd love to have
a set of recipes that would detect outlook mail and reformat the body
in an acceptable manner.  I just don't have the time to write such a
thing.
