Does anybody else experience this or do you all use dedicated Usenet 
software?

Oh, and for some reason the auto signature gets placed at the top now.

Passing over the temptation to suggest that you get some decent software

It depends on what format the sender is using, whether his/her post is 
broken into lines or flowed. This is flowed so even if it is longer than 
one line it should only show 1 "> " mark at the beginning of any reply.

XanaNews is a news reader worth considering:

and scroll down on the left - it follows established standards unlike OE.

Both yours and Molly's reply okay, Chaddy's is one of the arse pains where I 
have to enter all the indents myself.
I think it was just :Jerry:'s American enemy who was the other problematic 
one.

I'll take a look at the news readers but I'm not up for paying a penny.

I've found this mostly with people who are using that excuse of a 
Usenet/nntp server, namely Google groups - the problem is not your 
end...

Always done that AFAIA, it's to do with the fact that the OE 
newsreader shares a lot with the OE the email program, it's very 
common that *email* replies are placed above the quoted content.

The nutter who was accusing you of fraud etc. I've lost all my usenet 
history since Virgin changed their news server.

Having just look at the above URL, I remember now, it doesn't work 
with"Outlook", a bit of Googling found the correct URL for the version 
that does work with Outlook, 
<http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/outlook-quotefix/> (the URL give 
on the oe-quotefix site doesn't go to the correct site...).

Sure it is ― ‘Μicrosoft Οutbreak Εxcess’ cannot handle
Quoted-Printable (QP) correctly.
*You* have problems with ‘Οutbreak Εxcess’, too.
You cannot even quote the line

    1 € = 100 ¢

correctly.

Did Andreas get you in a bad mood? Make yourself a cup of tea and a big 
roll-up and chill.
I'm off down the pub for a pool match soon, so don't expect any more posts 
from me.
