Finno-Ugric languages

I'd like to know something: how are Hungarian and Finnish related? I know
they belong to the Finno-Ugric branch, characterized by agglutination and
vowel harmony. But Finnish, Estonian and most of the other Finno-Ugric
languages are spoken in Northern Europe. Does anyone know how the
(presumably existing somewhere in time) Proto-Finno-Ugric language could be
spoken in areas so apart from each other? I really haven't read any history
about this -- or any theories, for that matter.

Also: is there any way to tell MS Exchange to quote messages with ">"
instead of indenting them, leave out formatting, and automatically add a
signature to every message? I can't believe how awfully non-user-friendly
this is!
