When replying to an email, Outlook includes the following information from the original email:

That is just totally ridiculous. I am forced to manually delete all of that garbage. I know that there is probably no way to make Outlook properly reply to an email; ie, "STOP TOP POSTING", but I really hate to manually edit every message I reply to. I belong to several technical forums and no one appreciates this excess garbage being included in every reply.

It would be great if Outlook allowed a user to manually configure how to handle a reply message. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style> All modern, and some not so modern FOSS email applications have had that option for over a decade.

It would be great if Outlook allowed a user to manually create a header to be used in replies. Such as:

On <date>, <User> stated the following:
<body of message>

Nice and neat. To much to ask I suppose.
