Mark and preface comments in replies and forwards

Just like reviewing Word documents, it is convenient to add your comments to the body of the received message in Outlook correspondence. When answering questions or commenting on aspects of a message you have received, it is helpful to include an indicator (mark, preface) so that the person reading your message knows exactly what topic is being answered by whom.
