How to remove [External] from Outlook emails, users are getting furious

Since early December all of our Outlook365 users (in all tenants) have been getting the tag [External] in the subject line of their Outlook, and want it removed. I am only finding PS scripts which do not work. I have searched the settings and security areas of the admin console but have not found anything. Please help!

    Hi there, this helpful link has been posted before in this forum and solved the problem. Very easy fix! What it did not fix is if you have folders into which you filter incoming mail (trying to see how i can make this technique work for that) but the "external" tag will no longer appear in your inbox.

    I just lodged a feedback as I also don't like that "external" comment on my "from" field. It takes too much space from my inbox.

    great idea, I hope it is possible. Or maybe show it as a column of its own
