Microsoft Outlook 98 For Windows For Dummies
Automatically Adding Your Name to a Reply in Outlook
Adapted From: Microsoft Outlook 98 For Windows For Dummies

When you reply to a message in Outlook, it sometimes helps to include parts of the message that you're replying to, so the person knows exactly which bit you're commenting on. The trick is, how will the reader know which comments are his or hers and which are yours?

Outlook allows you to preface your comments with your name (or any text you choose). To tag your replies with your name:

  1. Choose Tools, Options (or press Alt, T, O).

The Options dialog box appears.

  1. Click the E-mail Options button (or press M).

The E-mail Options dialog box appears.

  1. Click the Mark My Comments With check box (or press M) so that a check mark appears.

  2. In the Mark My Comments With text box, type the text that you want to accompany your annotations.

(Your best bet here is your name; anything else can get confusing.)

  1. Click OK.

You can now select and delete text from the original message and stick in comments tagged with your name wherever you please.
