Here's why:

  X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.3018.1300

There's a free solution:

     OE-QuoteFix

     http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/description.html
     Description

    "Description

     OE-QuoteFix will extend the functionality of MS Outlook Express in
     numerous ways! Its main purpose is to modify message composition
     windows on-the-fly to allow for correct quoting and to change the
     appearance of your plain-text replies and forwards in general: move
     your signature, use compressed indentation, have RFC compliant
     signatures, etc.

     But the second feature is equally practical: OE-QuoteFix can
     instantly color quoted passages (according to the level of
     indentation), fix bad quoting and generally beautify messages as
     you view them in Outlook Express.

     [snip]

     No Worries

     Lastly, OE-QuoteFix will not modify any system files or Outlook
     Express files... And the changes it makes to your messages can be
     undone by choosing Edit->Undo in Outlook Express, should you
     realize that they weren't what you wanted. And if you don't like
     OE-QuoteFix at all, you can always uninstall it, but I'm sure you
     won't want to... ;)"
