Adding comments to reply or forward

Outlook 365 2016 2010
When you answer questions or comment some points of the received message, it helps to include an indicator so that the person reading your message will know exactly what topic you're responding to.

To tag your replies with your name, follow these steps:

Auto-Reply for all messages without subject

Auto-Reply for all messages without subject

This rule will be useful if you receive a lot of messages (for example, reports) from your colleagues and use rules to copy or move correspondence to the specific folders (like Rule to copy all correspondence about some subject to the specific folder or Rule to move all correspondence about some subject to the specific folder). Unfortunately those rules wouldn't work for messages with empty subject, but you still can create a rule to send an Auto-Reply if the message don't have a subject.
