This has nothing to do with Word & you don't specify what email client
you're using, so this is just a bit of general information
The Options for your email client will have some sort of setting as to
whether to quote originals in replies. What it's called, where it is & how
it's worded varies from one program to another. In Outlook 2003 for example,
it would be in ToolsOptionsPreferences - Email Options buttton - "On
Replies & Forwards".

A friend sends me a email message with a question. I sent him a reply by
hitting the "reply" button and answer his question. When he opens up my
email, my answer (text) is there, but his email question is not. In other
words, the original "text" email my friend sent me, does not show up in my
relpy to him when I send it back...I am hitting the "Reply" button. Thank
you
