Trying to include original message on Email reply, configurable by selecting Options from the Outlook Tools menu.

Options is missing. Thanks

Using Outlook for Mac 2011 Version 14.1.0. Although preference is set to "Close the original message after replying or forwarding," messages do not close, which results in a pile of messages that must be closed manually. Any suggestions how to correct the problem? Is there another command somewhere that's overriding the set preference?

I have WIN 8 OS and outlook.com account.  When I open photo attachments, how can I return directly to source e-mail message?  There does not appear to be a link back to original message from the photo.  Some document attachments display an "x" in upper right portion of screen which can be clicked on to return to original message but I do not find this with photos.  Suggestions would be most appreciated.  Thanks. 
I do not want Hotmail to cascade my emails.  How do I change the setting back?  For example, if I do a reply an original message in my Inbox it then goes into my Sent box and doesn't come back to my Inbox until the person responds.  Also, when someone sends me an attachment it can/does get extremely hard to find in the response chain.  How do I change the setting to stop this cascading??

Of note, I've found it also seems to cause real problems when you send two emails with the same Subject.  The system can't then tell the two email chains apart and combines them.  This is a big problem as then people get messages that weren't intended of them.

Please help me change back to where an email remains in the same place in your inbox when a response is sent. I want to return to the days where when a response is received it's in your inbox along with the original message stored seperately.

Thanks :-)

I see that all of a sudden my emails are being clumped together.  I read that messages are being threaded by default.  Is there any way to unthread them?  I wanted to search for a particular original message which I knew the date and time sent, but it was not there because it had a thread which I read then deleted. Evidently it deletes EVERY message in that thread, not just the one you just read.  Also, even if you do not delete the additional threaded messages, the original message is not in the time/date location in which it was sent, so now you can't find it by knowing when you got it.  You have to search through all your emails.  Perhaps I am just technology impaired and there is a way to keep the messages in that thread that you want and delete others.  If so, please tell me how.  I'd rather just have my messages unthreaded.  Please help.  This is definitely not a help for emails.  Thank you.  BTW, this is regular Hotmail, not Outlook which I do not want to use.

How do you set a reply message to not show original message.

Whenever I answer an email, the original message is included and has to be removed manually. Is there a way to remove this "feature"?
Does anyone else have this problem?  When I reply to or forward a message using Outlook for Mac 2011, the Date Sent from the message that I am forwarding, or replying to, is not included in my message.  Under Outlook > Preferences... > Email Composing, I use the middle radio button under Attribution of Original Message, which says it will "Include From, Date, To, Subject lines from original message".  This preference option only displays the other 3 attribute lines in the header of the prior/original message, but not Date Sent.  

I've tried all three radio buttons to this option, none of which include the Date. Any suggestions?  I assume this is a Severity 2 defect of Outlook since not including the date of a reply or forwarded message renders Outlook application almost useless as an email tool, unless someone wants to manually add the date to most every forwarded message and email reply or look like he's/she's hiding the date sent for some reason.
