Mark quotation in Outlook

Would you like to mark quotes in Outlook so that you can give your writing partner more precise answers? When answering an email, it is useful to refer to what the original email said. In this case, only the parts of the mail to which you refer remain in a reply; these are identified by a point bracket (>) at the beginning of each line as a quote. Then write your answer below.
