I don't want the original email included in my reply. Just my reply. Is there a way to do this?

When I hit reply, the original email is included in my reply. I only want my reply. I have to delete the original email - in inconvenience. Is there a way to set it up to just a blank email to type my reply? I haven't been able to figure it out if there is. Thank you for your kind attention to my problem.

Okay, I dug and dug and finally found what I was looking for. I was able to remove the original email and get just the blank reply. I also figured out I had to do it for EVERY email account, and now I'm a happy user.

You will also find, for those rare occasions you WANT to quote, If you modify the toolbar in the wrote window that there is a quote entry that can be dragged onto it. If I find handy, as it "quotes" the last email I looked at. very handy for quoting others without all the baggage that goes with hitting forward or reply.
