Unfortunately, as is shown in the thread that Aaron refers to in his 
excellent response, Outlook for Mac does not support setting the indent 
character; the only thing we have available is indentation.

After all, why would anybody want to do anything other than top-posting?

I've been fighting with this for a couple of years (since I was forced 
by the University to move from Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2016).  I've 
tried lots of things to make it work better, with no success.

I need to use Outlook with my work email, and I am loathe to work with 
multiple clients -- I lose track of things too easily that way.

I guess it's time to go to my gmail account for my work with LilyPond.

Thanks,

Carl

Seems to be an artifact of Outlook that does not use Internet-style
quoting by default.

for details.
