I am using MS Outlook from MS Office 365 Home Premium. I do a lot of corresponding with users on *.nix systems. These are plain text messages. I also run a FreeBSD system. The problem is that Outlook places a really useless prefix before a replied to message. It also attempts to "Top Post", but that is easy to correct. Is there any way to modify this mess? I cannot find an option to do it.
Thanks! |

Hi,
Are you looking for...(in Outlook) File...Options...Mail...Replies and forwards? The options there control how Outlook behaves when composing replies. |

When replying to an email, Outlook includes the following information from the original email:
From: Sent: To: CC: Subject: 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.
