Er, not quite, though I'm not sure whether that was Outhouse's fault:
You left the signature delimiter in your reply ("-- "), causing my mail
program to - rightly - treat your reply as signature, hence deleting it
when I try to reply. Hence, please make sure you do not reply after the
signature delimiter - only the signature should follow after that line.


As for the Outhouse problem: I've seen various lists where people where
told to try something like "quotefix" to fix Outhouse. I think Google
might help, as I never bothered to find out the details (at work, I'm
using Cygwin + mutt, thankfully).

Cheerio,

Thomas
