E-mail addresses disappear in the New Outlook when I reply or forward an e-mail

I have a problem with the New Outlook when I reply or forward an e-mail. Let me describe how the New Outlook hides e-mail address.

Let's say I receive an email with this structure:

From: Person1 (Person1 email address)

Sent: To: Myself (my email address)

Cc: Person2 (Person2 email address); Person3 (Person3 email address); Person4 (Person4 email address)

When I hit "Reply", "Reply all" or "Forward", the text in the e-mail body which quotes this email is being re-formatted and shows the following:

From: Person1
Sent: To: Myself
Cc: Person2; Person3; Person4

So the New Outlook cuts or hides the e-mail addresses of the Sender and Recipients. The recipients of my email will not be able to reply to specific people in the e-mail thread because the New Outlook hides the addresses. I have tried to reinstall the app and reset the New Outlook settings, but it didn't help.

    Thanks for your reply, Roger,

    1. I'm using M365 work account
    2. The issue doesn't happen in Outlook Web
    3. My emails are composed in HTML format. However, I've just tried Plain Text, and the issue persists with this option as well.

    Hi PullmanZV

    Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you.

    I am truly sorry for the inconvenience this issue has caused you. Based on the description, I understand that you have an issue with new Outlook when you reply/forward an email. When composing the reply/forward message, the email body hides the original message's sender/recipient email address that it quotes.

    To further clarify the issue, please kindly confirm the following information.

    1. Are you using a M365 work/school account, a Microsoft personal account(hotmail.com/live.com/outlook.com), or a 3rd-party email provider account?
    2. Does the same issue happen in Outlook on the web as well?
    3. Please kindly confirm whether the email message is composed in HTML or Plain Text format. (Settings > Mail > Compose and reply)

    Please understand that our initial response may not always resolve the issue immediately. However, with your help and more detailed information, we can work together to find a solution.

    Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated.

    Sincerely,

    Roger Shen
