How to remove "From: * Sent: * To: * Subject: *" block from being sent in body of email?

Megan 0

Hi, I recently set up my new business email with Outlook. When I send messages to someone outside of Outlook, there is a black divider line + ****From: *** Sent: *** To: *** Subject: ******* block that is sent along with the body of my email, below my email signature. Is there any way I can prevent my email replies from having this? Or can I hide it somehow?

Below is an example of what my email reply looks like to someone with gmail. I would prefer to have my email be clean, without these elements.

Thanks. Screen Shot 2024-03-20 at 5.41.18 PM

Hi @Megan ,

Welcome to our forum!

When I send messages to someone outside of Outlook, there is a black divider line + ****From: *** Sent: *** To: *** Subject: ******* block that is sent along with the body of my email, below my email signature.

What do you mean about "someone outside of Outlook"?

And does this issue occur in Outlook desktop client?

If so, please log in to your web mail and do the same test to check if there're any differences.

On the other hand, please check whether the message at the end appears as soon as you edit the email or after the email has been sent.

Hi Christy, thanks for your reply.

By "someone outside of Outlook," I'm referring to someone who doesn't use Outlook. In this instance, I'm talking about when I send an email to someone who uses Gmail. They see all my replies as having From: *** Sent: *** To: *** Subject: *** appended to it.

This isn't something I see on my end, but rather something that the receiver sees. I'm wondering if there's a way I can remove this information from being sent.

Thanks,
Megan

Hi @Megan ,

Thanks for your reply!

Does this issue occur in Outlook desktop client?

If so, as i know, when we set When replying to a message option to Include original message text, the issue will occur. It's suggested that you could change the below option to Do not include original message via File>Options>Mail>Replies and forwards to check if there're any differences.

Hi Christy, thanks for this. I'm on Outlook desktop for Mac, is this something I can access on Mac?
