remove stationary from a recived message

[Dax]

I would like to have a way to either remove the stationary from recived emails.

Or the have Outlook display all of my messages in the same format, like
applying a stationary that I create to all of the emails that I read.

I agree completely. If someone sends you an email with flowers, how can you
forward that message in a professional working environment. There needs to
be a way to remove stationary from a message, and just keep the text.
Pictures may or may not need to be removed depending on whether or not they
are relevant to the message.

you can configure outlook to always use your stationery settings - it works
about half (depends on how the stationery was created). or you can change
the mail to plain text after hitting forward to get rid of the stationery -
change back to html if you want html but not their stationery. you can also
make changes from the Format menu - I think you can lose the stationery, but
don't have any samples in my inbox to verify.

I agree. The Outlook Product Programming Team should implement a solution to
enable a User to compose and send a reply email message or forward a email
message containing stationary.

The person composing the message should dictate the stationary selection and
page formatting for THEIR message not the originator.

Unfortunately, the major issue is the following. How does the Outlook
application pass along the formatting of the appended messages, including the
stationary, while not applying the original format of the preceding messages
to the portion of the current message?

My suggestion is the use of stationary message border rather than a page
border inside of a reply or forwarded message. It would be analogous to the
box border in Microsoft Word. The stationary message border would surround
any content for the previous message inside the box, including the message
header data.

Also, the workaround suggestions are an accommodation. Yet, the expectation
is a real solution that satisfies the above issue.

If you agree, please tell Microsoft.

I'll have to disagree. I send plain text only messages. If I get replies
from people who are nasty enough to convert the reply to HTML, they
immediately get trashed. If I had wanted an HTML reply, I'd have sent an
HTML message. Besides, stationery adds absolutely noting to the
conversation. Information exchange is the entire idea behind email and
stationery never contains substance, only glitz and glitter.
