Microsoft Outlook supports the use of inline comments to indicate changes you make to the body of forwarded or replied to emails. Although this feature is disabled by default, enabling it will put your name in bold italics and brackets before pasted text. This badge does not apply to text you enter at the top of the message that appears before material you forward or reply to.
The instructions in this article apply to Outlook 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007; and Outlook for Microsoft 365.

It’s common for people to reply to long posts with comments in the original text, often with different emphasis or color, without naming themselves. However, it’s a good idea to keep a formal foreword if many people are editing the content, or for legal or compliance reasons if a standard disclaimer needs to appear.
You don’t have to use your name to introduce a comment; In Outlook settings, change the text to include everything, including an official statement.
