No. A good delimiter looks like this

Get it now?

A proper newsreader will strip everything below it when repling.
If you must use Outlook Express,this tool will help-

Re: repeated crashes and failure to update ... is this Win32/Rusto

OK Max - I appreciate your help.

For others looking in:-

OE-QuoteFix will extend the functionality of MS Outlook Express in numerous
ways! Its main purpose is to modify message composition windows on-the-fly
to allow for correct quoting and to change the appearance of your plain-text
replies and forwards in general: move your signature, use compressed
indentation, have RFC compliant signatures, etc.
But the second feature is equally practical: OE-QuoteFix can instantly color
quoted passages (according to the level of indentation), fix bad quoting and
generally beautify messages as you view them in Outlook Express.

snip

Yes and no. You put the delimiter in the wrong place(it should be at
the end of your message,above your sig) and you put your reply above
the quoted material instead of below. If you need some assistance,let
me know.
