Provide a feature in Microsoft Outlook to reply to original sender when replying to emails.
There should be an option to reply to original sender in Microsoft Outlook 2016 when replying to emails rather than the last person who sent or forwarded the emails as now clicking on "Reply" only allows e to reply to the immediate sender, not the original sender. A "reply to original sender" would save a lot of copy-paste operations.

Yes, please! I want to keep the integrity of a conversation thread, so I always reply to the latest, even if it's an email I have sent. But then I end up accidentally replying to myself often. Plus, if I were to try to avoid this and disregard the thread integrity to make sure the reply goes to the right person, Outlook yells at you that you're not replying to the latest.
Outlook should be smart enough to know that a reply email written with a salutation with someone else's name (Hi Nicole) is *not* intended to be an email to yourself.

It only makes sense when following up on a previously sent email when you hit reply that it should go the the person you sent the email to not to yourself (you should not have to hit reply all. It works correctly on the web version.

When hitting reply to a reply you sent earlier, have it also go to the recipient rather than to yourself. Ie. I get a mail from A, reply to that, then realize I forgot something and hit reply while in the reply I just sent, that should go to A, not to me.

Reply to other person in conversation when replying to mail in sent folder. When I have sent an email to someone already, but want to follow up, Reply should send an email to them, not to my own account.
