I'm a dinosaur who still uses Hotmail.com via web-based Outlook.com. Now every time I reply to a message, I get a ""Try Draft with Copilot" message/link in it. I never want to use Copilot for anything, but this won't go away. How can I turn permanently off this any other Copliot promot in Outlook?

I have the same problem and I subscribe to Microsoft 365. The stupid prompt appears both when I use the Web version live.outlook.com or when I use the version in Microsoft 365, or when I use the version on my iPhone and my iPad, which is the one I use most frequently. It’s insane and unnecessary. Microsoft wasted its money on this piece of garbage.
I’m a business subscriber that did try copilot ($360 upfront) and it’s absolutely useless. It is not helpful, or creative. When I did try using it, I got “I’m not permitted to…” most of the time and now, they shove it in my face- EVEN though it expired as I planned. So, which is it MSFT, is it expired, or is it not? You can’t badger me to resubscribe because it’s expired and bug the hell out of me in every email.
Microsoft, face it, you launched a turd and do not want to tell anybody it’s a turd, so you force it on us to report high daily uses. More of the same- 25 useless apps nobody chooses over another because a company got a big discount. They’ll figure it out.
Some progress! When I go to write email on outlook.com, there is now a box with an option to turn off Copilot. When I tick that box, I no longer get the draft-with-copilot link on every line.
I am still on track to renew my subscription to "Classic" to avoid paying for this - and to hopefully have it disappear from all my Microsoft apps. I have no objection to AI and use other tools all the time. But I have been completely put off by Microsoft's attempts to jam this down people's throats, including the sneaky subscription "upgrade." At this point, I want nothing at all to do with Copilot.
I don't see the option to turn off Copiot. Can you post a screen shot.?

Changed for me. The copilot button on the right-side of the toolbar now has a settings option - within this, there is the ability to turn copilot off. Do that, and try writing a new email, and all of the copilot nonsense has gone completely.
