outlook 2000, when replying to an HTML-formatted message...

[shadedecho]

When replying to an HTML-formatted email, and when typing down in the message where the original text is, Outlook 2000 automatically inserts [your name] into the text where you start typing, on each line that you change.

I guess this is a notification to the original sender that you changed their original message, but there should be a way to turn this feature off, I just don't know how. I know that making the reply be in plain text will solve that, but I want the reply to stay in the original formatting, just to not auto-insert my name on a line that I type in if its inside the original text. Can someone help please?
