There’s a particular behaviour in Outlook for Mac, that for several years I have thought was a bug. If you reply to an email, you often only get some of the text from the original email, rather than the entire email being copied into the reply. Like this:
Alternatively, use Ctrl+8 (Windows) or Command+8 (Mac OS). Use the toggle switch to show or hide all comments. Alternatively, use Ctrl+Shift+8 (Windows) or Command+Shift+8 (Mac OS). When one or more reviewers reply to a comment, the set of replies is called a thread. In the Comments list, all replies are displayed. Replies are indented. Office for Mac Issue 'Reply All' I am using the Outlook app Version 16.32 (19120802) from the 365 subscription on Mojava 10.14.6 with a POP email account. When in Sent Items, I go to reply to an email I sent and it works fine, though when I use the 'Reply to All' to send to multiple people, a new sent item appears in blue (like it is unread. Click on Tools in the Mac toolbar and click on Automatic Replies. From the Automatic Replies window, check the Send automatic replies for account check box to turn on automatic replies. You can then type in your message you want to reply to emails as well as.
This week (after having a Mac for almost 4 years) I stumbled across the reason. It turns out that if you select text in the original email, only that text is quoted.
The feature has been there since at least Outlook for Mac 2011 and is there still in the latest Outlook for Mac. Certainly different behaviour to Outlook on Windows.
Unfortunately there is no way to disable the feature, so something to look out for in the future, now that I know what the cause is.

Reply to or forward messages, or redirect a message you receive by mistake to someone else. If the original message contained attachments, you can decide whether to include them.
Reply to or forward emails
In the Mail app on your Mac, select a message in the message list.

If you select the top message in a conversation, all of the messages in the conversation are selected.
Move the pointer over the message header, then click one of the following buttons:
Reply to reply to just the sender.
Reply All to reply to the sender and the other recipients.
Forward to choose new recipients.
You can add or remove recipients as needed.
Add your text.
If you included the original message, vertical bars (called quotation bars) may appear next to it.
You can make your text appear as quotations:
Add quotation bars to your text: Choose Format > Quote Level > Increase or Format > Quote Level > Decrease. This also changes the quote level at which selected text appears.
Paste text as quoted text: Choose Edit > Paste as Quotation.
If the original message contained attachments, decide whether to include them:
Include attachments in a reply: Click the Include Attachment button in the toolbar of the message window or choose Edit > Attachments > Include Original Attachments in Reply.
Exclude attachments from a reply: Click the Exclude Attachment button in the toolbar of the message window or choose Message > Remove Attachments.
When you’re ready, click the Send button .
If you prefer to always omit the original message from your replies, choose Mail > Preferences, click Composing, then deselect “Quote the text of the original message.”

Automatically reply to or forward emails
Mail must be open before it can automatically forward or reply to messages. If you want to send automatic replies when Mail isn’t open—like when you’re on vacation—check with the provider of your email account.
Replies For Mac Os
In the Mail app on your Mac, choose Mail > Preferences, then click Rules.
Click Add Rule, then type a name for the rule.
Indicate whether any or all of the conditions must be true for the rule to be applied.
Set the conditions that determine which messages to automatically reply to or forward.
Click the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu, then choose an option:
Forward messages: Choose Forward Message from the first pop-up menu, then enter the email addresses where you want to receive the forwarded messages. Click Message, then enter any text you want to include with the forwarded message. For example, you could explain that you’re automatically forwarding messages.
Reply to messages: Choose “Reply to Message” from the first pop-up menu, click “Reply message text,” then enter your reply. Mail includes the full text of the original message in your reply.
Click OK.
Carefully consider the rules you create. If they’re too broad, messages can be sent inadvertently or create loops (replies to replies you sent). If possible, test the rules.
Redirect emails
In the Mail app on your Mac, select the message you want to redirect.
Choose Message > Redirect.
Address the message, then click the Send button .
The recipient sees only the address of the original sender, and the recipient’s reply goes only to the original sender. You can’t redirect messages for an Exchange account.
