AOL  users often need assistance when it comes to quoting. I don't think  it
defaults to quoting. As I understand it, if they first highlight the  text
they want to quote before clicking on "reply," the text gets pasted  into
the reply with the quote marks.

Yes, sort of.  As we  have two choices in AOL 9.0 on how the quotes are
handled, "reply with  selected text" or "reply with original text"  and three
styles: "blue  bar" as I use but it never shows up on the Vanagon Listserv,
"indent" or  "none".   So when I reply to a message "I" choose the text i want
quoted then I type my reply below.  It all looks perfect when on my  screen.  I
then send it but the Vanagon Listserv changes it all around in  many ways.  I
have tried other ways to overcome this but so far none are  suitable.  Normally
it's not a problem if you've been following the  tread subject from the
beginning.   But for those that jump in the  middle of the discussion it become
unclear who said what when !   AND,  now we're far from any Vanagon content !
