Using Outlook 2003, when I get an message in rtf, when I reply to
it the quoted material has a vertical blue bar to its left. If I
switch to plain text, the blue bar goes away, but its not
replaced with the > signs that I want, even though in Tools |
Options | E-mail Options, it's set for that.

Can someone tell whether, and if so how, I can get the > signs?
 
If you leave Outlook at the default settings and do not elect to include and
indent, you should get the right arrows for quoting. Play with how you have
the original message included in the reply to find the correct method to get
the arrows back.

Thanks very much. No "include and indent." Under "On replies and
forwards," it's set as follows:

When replying to a message "Prefix each line of the original
message"
When forwarding a message "Include original message text"
Prefix each line with: ">"

I don't see any other choices that look like they might be
correct.

I should have also mentioned that this behavior started when I
converted from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003 a couple of weeks
ago. Until then, it always worked properly. And this is only with
rtf messages; when I receive a plain-text message, it *does* work
properly.

If this is an upgrade from 2000 to 2003, try creating a new mail profile.
