Hello,

Microsoft Outlook has a feature where the replies to some e-mails will be displayed in blue text instead of the regular black text.

To change this setting please use the following steps:
  • Go to the Tools menu and select Options.
  • Click the Mail Format tab
  • Click the Fonts button
  • Edit the setting for Replying and Forwarding
  • Click Apply and OK until all of the windows are closed.
