Several list members are posting as HTML; Replying to one of their messages produces the effect you describe in my mailer (Outlook Express 5), rather than the usual >s. When this happens I always set the message format to Plain Text and the graphic disappears. Of course, on Hotmail you're always going to see the mail as HTML. Or is there a pref you can set to Plain text?
