I have no idea why my news reader doesn't quote properly.
Wasn't a problem before I went to Windows 7.

Please stop using Windows Live Mail (it's a serious downgrade, not an
upgrade, from Outlook Express, which wasn't a great news reader
anyway). You can upgrade to a proper news reader, such as Thunderbird.
It's free and it works. And it's a good email program, too.
