Many of the things I dislike about Outlook just deal with the fact that it is a little different than the Hotmail I was used to. However, on “feature” is really annoying me. If someone writes me and I respond the listing in my inbox now features my name first, and this makes it hard to find the post again as it looks similar to any other that I have responded to, that is to say, with my name first. Anyway to get rid of this so that it is listed by who sent it, not to me when I respond.
