2 Issues - Draft Body disappears. Separate, if I report phishing, MSFT auto opens a scammer's Unsubscribe Page

For Outlook.com and Outlook on the web, the context only covers how to correctly report phishing and other problematic messages, not the mobile draft bug. Based on the available information:

1. Draft body disappearing in the mobile app

The provided context does not include any official documentation or guidance about a bug where draft bodies disappear when opened in the Outlook mobile app. No supported workaround or fix is documented in the context beyond what was already mentioned (using mobile web or similar), so no additional, documented remediation steps can be added here.

2. What happens when reporting phishing / using Report and Unsubscribe

For Outlook.com / Outlook on the web, there are two different but related capabilities in the context:

• Report phishing in Outlook.com
  • In the message list, select the message(s).
  • Above the reading pane, select Report > Report phishing.
  • This reports the sender as phishing.
  • Important note from the documentation: when a message is marked as phishing, the sender is reported but is not automatically blocked. To block the sender, the sender must be added to the blocked senders list. For that, see “Block senders or mark email as junk in Outlook.com” in the related topics.
• Report a concern in Outlook on the web
  • Right‑click the email (or tap and hold), go to Security options > Report a concern.
  • In the window that opens, select the type of concern, add comments, agree to the privacy statement, then select Report.

The context does not describe any behavior where Microsoft “tells the sender you exist” or intentionally confirms subscription status to a phishing sender when using the built‑in Report or Report phishing options. What is documented is:

• Report phishing sends a report to Microsoft and does not itself block the sender.
• To actually stop messages from that sender, the sender must be blocked or the message marked as junk.

If the goal is to avoid any interaction with a suspected phishing sender:

• Use Report > Report phishing (or Security options > Report a concern) to report the message.
• Separately, use the options described in “Block senders or mark email as junk in Outlook.com” (linked from the phishing article) to block the sender or treat future messages as junk.
• Avoid clicking any unsubscribe links or buttons inside suspicious emails themselves, since those are not part of Outlook’s reporting flow and may be controlled by the attacker.

For Outlook mobile (iOS/Android), the context only documents how to report junk/phishing from the app:

• Select the email.
• Tap ⋮ (top right).
• Tap Report Junk.
• Choose Junk, Phishing, or Block Sender as appropriate.

This flow is documented as a reporting/blocking action; the context does not state that it confirms subscriptions or opens attacker unsubscribe pages.
