Default Options for Replying to Messages

I have only been using MS Outlook for the past three months. Prior to that,
I had been using Lotus Notes for the past several years. Lotus Notes had an
option that allowed you to reply without including a copy of the sender's
email message (Reply without History). Does Outlook 2003 offer such a
command? Thanks in advanced.

You can set it as a Global option but there is not a "per e'Mail" button.

Simple solution is to reply and clear the referenced text,
[Ctrl + A] [Backspace]

Use the outlook editor ( disable the "user word" checkbox option )
add the "Signature" button to your toolbar and click it after your message
( or select the sig you want for that response. )

Thanks for confirming that Outlook does not have a "per e-mail" button like
how there is one in Lotus Notes. I understand your [Ctrl] + [A] answer, but
I'm not following the information you wrote underneath it. The only
information I could find about Outlook editor in online help was that it was
the default e-mail editor in previous versions of Outlook. Since I am a new
user can you provide step-by-step instructions on how to access editor, the
user word checkbox, etc. as well as what these steps are supposed to
accomplish? Thanks in advanced.

Have a look under Tools Options "Mail Format" tab.
Pretty Self explanatory really

If not, use Help, that's what it's there for.
- You can get contextual help by clicking on the [?] button Top Right hand
corner and then on an item.

I think there's a disconnect here. The first part of your original answer
was all that I needed - thanks. The second part of your answer is what
confused me (the part about the sig). Just as an aside, the comment you made
about online help was really unnecessary. The people who post their
questions here, such as myself are seeking answers, not sarcasm.

Wherever did you see sarcasm in the comment about Help? It's a legitimate
comment.

What was un-necessary was for me to explain in a post and
"provide step-by-step instructions" in detail what can be learned
from going to the "Mail Format" tab and using the contextual Help file.

This is peer support help, not a tutorial.
