When replying to an email, it's often helpful to include the conversation history for context. But Mac users who updated Microsoft Outlook to its newest version just lost that feature. The problem was introduced in version 16.110, build 26061317, which launched on June 16.
Before the update, when Outlook for Mac users replied to an email, they could see the original message thread.
