Replying to Messages

The Reply to All buttonScanning for viruses
When you receive a message with an attachment, save the attachment in a temporary folder and scan the folder for viruses before you do anything with the file. You can't "catch" a virus by just looking at a file, but activating a file infected with a virus can wreak havoc. Although viruses usually do their damage via program files, new breeds of viruses attack word processor and spreadsheet files. So get in the habit of scanning all attachment files with a virus program unless you are sure the files are coming from an impeccable source.
- Click the Reply button. (To send the response to the sender of the message and to all recipients of courtesy copies, you would click the Reply To All button.) Outlook opens a Message window like this one:
[GRAPHIC: Picture of Reply message ] Notice that the To and Subject edit boxes are already filled in. Also notice that the original message appears below the blinking insertion point. (If you prefer not to display the original message in your responses, read the tip below.) The attachment appears in chevrons to indicate that it will not be sent as part of the reply.
- Type Thanks for the letter. That should work! Then click the Send button. Back in the original Message window, Outlook has added a note that you have sent a reply to this message. No original message in replies
If you don't want Outlook to display the original message at the end of your reply, choose Options from Outlook's Tools menu and click the E-mail Options button on the Preferences tab. Click the arrow to the right of the When Replying To A Message box, select Do Not Include Original Message, and click OK twice. (Notice that you can also change the way the original message appears within a forwarded message using this dialog box.)
