How do I get Outlook to stop showing every email ever sent on a given topic,
and/or by a given sender, at the end of an email I receive? (I was forced
from Outlook Express to Outlook by my iPhone, and I don't know Outllok
yet.)Thanks for any help.

Ask the sender not to quote the original e-mail they received from you
when they reply back. The inclusion of the original message is not
under your control for e-mails that you receive. Similarly, it is YOUR
choice whether or not to quote the original message in your replies.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. (And sorry for the duplicate post.) I mean that the
email lists the address of every email on topic that preceeded the one
received, plus every earlier one sent by that sender. It doesn't show the
text of them. It's almost like I asked it to research the issue, but I
didn't. Thanks.

Okay, I'm lost.

"The email ..."
So you're talking about the content of the message or somewhere in the
headers?

"... lists the address of every email [address] on [the] topic that
preceeded the one received, plus every earlier [email] sent by that
sender."
Guessing here as shown by the addition of the bracketed words. So are
you talking about the original message getting quoted by the first
respondent that forwarded or replied, and then that 2nd message again
getting quoted by the next person that forwarded or replied, and so on
which leaves a series of indented e-mails when each person quoted the
content of the e-mail that they got along the entire chain of
recipients?

E-mail clients will quote the *body* of the original message when you
reply or forward that message to someone else. They will also prefix
that quoted content with a subset of the headers for that original
message, like From, To, Cc, Subject, and Date. As in newsgroups, you
are expected to snip out any irrelevant content or anything you don't
want to pass along to the next recipient when you forward or reply to
that message. Learn to snip. From those subset of headers prepended to
the quoted content, only remove the To and Cc headers. The From should
ALWAYS be there to credit whomever content got quoted and included in
your reply or forward of that message. Fact is, when replying, you
don't even need to include any of the original message providing you
don't change the Subject so the sender can match it up with their
original message (i.e., group by conversation).

Or are you asking about how to change the *view* of the header pane that
lists the messages that your e-mail client has retrieved? Maybe you
have "group by converstation" enabled in the view for that [Inbox]
folder.

Okay, I figured out what the problem is, but i don't know how to fix it.
Outlook is changing incoming e-mails to Plain Text. How do I get it to
default to HTML all the time?

I'm still using OL2002 (no bang-for-the-buck for me to spend money on
OL2003). There should be an option in Outlook similar to "read all
mails in plain-text".

I found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831607/en-us. From that you
should be able to figure out how to undo that setup.

Thanks!
