SSSusan:
Yeah, I can... and it doesn't insert vertical bars either.

When I am using my webmail through AT&T Yahoo! Beta, and I hit "reply" to an 
e-mail that came in from a Yahoo!Group (for instance this Feedback group), 
the quoted material does not have any kind of mark placed in front of the 
lines of the quoted material.

You might, for instance, take a look at my previous Feedback post --
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-Feedback/message/747
-- where the quoted section looks like this:

Random832 inquired:
>>> So how would one keep within the posting limit in a "back and forth"
discussion? Have them off-list and post summaries every so often? How
should one initiate such an exchange? "I challenge you to a
duel^H^H^Hebate"? <<<


Those chevrons that started & ended the quote were inserted by me because 
*nothing* was added when I hit "reply."

I have my membership set so that my e-mails from Feedback go to my home 
e-mail address, rather than my work e-mail address.  The only way for me to 
access my home e-mail messages during the work day is via webmail with AT&T 
Yahoo.  Thus, there is your example of a situation where hitting "Reply" 
does not generate chevrons, fancy vertical lines or any such marks alongside 
the left margin.

be bowing out now.
