but if it really bugs you, you can ask her to do the following.
In Entourage Mail & News preferences, found in the menu bar under Entourage, go to Reply & Forward tab and take out the default check mark in "include entire message in reply"
Should work but will tend to annoy others. Your wish, her call

My friend many states away uses Entourage for her email. When she replies to an email, the entire message to which she is replying is quoted. Is there a setting in Entourage that she can change to stop this unnecessary quoting? I don't have a Mac, so I can't explore myself.
Thank you!
