After using Thunderbird, I have had to switch our business email client to Outlook 2007 on Exchange Server. However, in Thunderbird, when I responded or forwarded an email, the former messages (not the folders or files) appeared below what I wrote, but each was tabbed in a little, so I could see the chronology of all the emails clearly. As follows (each section after the first is tabbed over 5 spaces):

I click on reply and write my message:

So and so, please call me right away.

On 10/22/08 at 10:30 a.m. so and so wrote:
Hi how's it going? I'll give you a call soon.

On 10/21/08 at 1:30 p.m. my mom wrote:
Hi, so and so, haven't heard from you.

on 10/20/08 at 10:30 a.m. so and so wrote:
Mom, I'll call you tomorrow morning.

I'm not sure exactly where the settings are at in 2007, but in 2003 it's under Tools -> Options -> Preferences (tab) -> Email Options (button) -> On replies and forwards (section) -> drop down arrow, select "Include and indent original message text" INSTEAD OF "Include original message text".

The steps to get this done in 2007 are exactly the same.

Thanks for the help. Sometimes it is overwhelming when looking for one simple answer, that I can look right at it and not see it.

I know what you mean. I can't begin to count the number of times I've looked for an option and couldn't find it, but I knew it was there somewhere.

Glad that helped! Thanks for the thumb! :)
