Outlook Connectors - Placeholder on some inbound emails

On some inbound emails I am receiving a banner above the email text that says Connectors - placeholder.  We have no idea what it is or why it's suddenly there starting this week.  Some emails have it and some don't.  Doesn't matter if they are internal company emails or external emails.

We've checked add-ins, social setting, etc and now been able to get this to go away.  It does now show up on the web or mobile, and doesn't show up in Sent messages either.

Any way to get rid of this?  It's super annoying and takes up unneeded space.

    I now have a second user reporting the same issue. It appears to be machine specific as it doesn't happen when they switch to other machines. Clearing cache and cookies does not resolve the issue.
