Tools -> Options -> Preferences -> E-mail Options, set "When replying to
a message" to "Prefix each line of the original message".

Tools -> Options -> Mail Format, set "Compose in this message format" to
"Plain Text".

Avoiding garbage is better than converting it to something useful. If
someone wrote an Outlook mail sanitizer, I'd probably use it at work,
too, though.

always a way to do worse -- that's small comfort.
