Outlook showing "from" field when replying to an email addressed or cc'd to me

Very recently, don't know the exact date, when replying to an email, addressed to me or I'm cc'd, Outlook shows the "from" field (with my email address, no other account).

I have one email account, I cannot find a solution to stop this from appearing, it doesn't impact anything, just it never used to show it, now it does.

It doesn't appear if I create a new email (wouldn't expect it to, as I only have one account), It also doesn't appear If I reply to an email that doesn't name me but am part of a mail group.

Anyone else have this "issue", a workaround or is there a fix?

    seeing as I've already replied to that "answer" on page one and it still doesn't work.

    but thanks for not reading the whole thread :)

    I can confirm this began with 2212. Users still on 2211 do not have this problem.

    The application seem to ignore the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences*ShowFrom* key value.

    New messages do not have this problem, only Replies and Forwards except when done from the Sent Items folder.

    I have the same problem as well.
