Why does my username appear automatically in Outlook2000 replies?

[jc4188]

I am facing an issue where my username automatically appears in the body of
any email reply/ forward whenever i hit on the spacebar as the first
character to start off editing of the quoted email message.

My username will appear as [John] in the email message.
Is there any way to turn this off?

Don't add your initials/name when doing inline comments.

Tools -> Options -> Preferences -> E-mail Options
Disable "Mark my comments with ..."
