Definitely. In HTML versions Outlook Express is putting a vertical bar on the "quitation"
Sometimes I insert:
"sucandsuch sez:"
If the > was not inserted, or was too long.
Since I don't have the time to read EVERY conversation, it becomes a PITA to follow the thread back.
Also, it is really better convention to have the reply on top of the message instead of the bottom.
That way people don't have to scroll down all the way to see what the person is saying, which, sometimes, is nothing because they accidentally hit the sen button.
These are just generally accepted practices of e-mail conversations, whihc make a list more pleasent

Subject: [world-cruising] Maintaining convention in replies
If one eliminates or fails to insert the conventional '>' it looks as
though one is having a conversation with oneself. In a short post it
might still work but not so in one that goes on.
I, for one, like to know who said what.
Thanks all
