Don't include original text in the reply Mac Mail

Yo Good People

If I don't want to include the original email text in my reply, how can this be achieved without selecting it all ad deleting its in the reply itself?

Formatting the reply mail in Apple Mail Hi, So I would like to know if there is a smart way of formatting how the replies look like in Apple mail. Like for example, when I am replying on any email, by default it says On 4 Nov 2022, at 01.40, USER <email@email.com> wrote: then there is the previous email below. But is there some smart way for it to show the following instead, just like it does in Outlook. It doesn't necessarily need to have all the following, but still like something similar like below. From: USER <email@email.com> Sent: 4 Nov 2022, at 01.40 To: email@email.com Subject: subject of email Because the default option is pretty annoying, since you never know where the old email starts. So I have been manually putting in a ______ below my signature, and then I manually highlight the default text. But if there is a smarter automated way, then it would save me lots of time! Thank you! :)

Any way to quickly see my reply to any email in my Mail Inbox? Is there any method in Mac Mail (Mail Version 14.0, Big Sur) where I can look at any Inbox email, see the little left-pointy arrow showing that I have responded, and quickly see/pull up that actual response email that I sent? I could've sworn that I used to be able to click on those little right/left pointy arrow icons and it would pull up the Reply, or Forwarded email. Any fast way to do this, besides look through the All Sent folder?

Message content not included on sent emails When replying to an email, all of the previous messages are removed from the thread so the entire conversation is gone. How do you fix this so that the entire conversation remains in tact? This is happening from the Apple Email app on a MacBook Air. Not using iCloud mail.

Yo Dialabrain, brain absent here, as Homer would say, Doh! I was getting hooked up on the duo below of how much of the original to include and you had either one or the other. Many thanks, enjoy your day. ☝️❤️👽
