Outlook Comments

I have a user that wants to be able to reply to a message, hit a key, and
have her name added in next to where her cursor is so she can write comments
on the existing email. For instance, if the original message is:

1) How are you?
2) Whats new?
3) What time is it?

She can reply, go down, hit a key wherever she wants to make a comment, and
type her response so it'd look like:

1) How are you? SARAH: Fine
2) Whats new? SARAH: Not much.
3) What time is it? SARAH: 3pm

I hope that makes sense. Help anyone?

There's really no built in way to make comments? I know there is in Word...
and Outlook uses Word as an editor... It seems like you'd be able to do this
without a Macro.

Then I guess she could use Word. I was working strictly from the Outlook
angle.

In Outlook go to Tools --> Options. Click on "Email Options..." button on the
"Preferences" window. Towards the bottom of the window there is a section "On
replies and forwards" select "Prefix each line of the original message" from
the "When replying to a message" combo box. Then under the "Prefix each line
with:" there is a checkbox "Mark My Comments With" make sure the box is
checked. The limitation with this is the user needs to hit enter in order for
this rule to kick in. I don't believe that HTML tags work in this textbox to
make it bold.
