Actually, our server does strip the formatting. Or it seems to. For
example, the above quoted text (with the > symbol) appears to me as I type
this message to be merely indented, in a different colour than the rest of
the text. Someone receiving this message on our LAN would see it this way.
However, when I send this message through our Internet gateway, the indent
is replaced by the > symbol, and the colour attribute is stripped out. This
happens only when I send Internet mail. This has to be the Exchange server
doing it, no?
