I has been using Microsoft 365 on my Macbook Air since early this year. It has been working perfectly all this while until recently i found that sender's header missing when i reply or forward some of the emails.
Not sure what happens, it doesn't show something like following ( the header below the signature and line below )
Regards,
My name
________
From : xxxxx
Date : xxxx
To : xxxx
Cc : xxxxx
Subject : xxxxx
I had checked my Preference->Composing, both HTML and Plaintext are correctly selected with header.
Strange is only happens to some emails, not sure why. Any one experience before and can help?

2021-07-30T01:30:21+00:00 I have the same issue.
A (less than ideal) workaround is to use plain text emails, rather than HTML. The problem abates if you choose Outlook/Preferences/Composing, and uncheck the boxes for ComposeInHTMLByDefault and WhenReplyingUseOriginalFormat. You need to uncheck for both HTML and Plain Text emails (see slider at top of box).
I hope that Microsoft can fix this soon. It really hurts productivity to have to use the workaround.
Genius! Thank you! Working for now. Annoying in plain text, but helps keep the information intact. Thanks again! Hoping for a fix soon.

2021-07-29T17:14:54+00:00 Hi, any update from Microsoft's side? We can't be the only ones with this issue. Many probably haven't even found this forum. I've already updated and restarted too many times. I really NEED my emails to function properly for work and personal business.
