You are not responding to the latest message in this conversation. Click here to open it.

Outlook 2016 This message popped up on an email that I was forwarding. When I clicked on the "Click here to open it", it provided content of a confidential email exchange between two parties who were part of the original email but did not include other parties in this particular exchange. Is there any way to avoid this happening in the future should an innocent party follow the same procedure that I did and have access to exchanges that they should not see? Thank you.

Hi @LeighAllen-2227,

it provided content of a confidential email exchange between two parties who were part of the original email but did not include other parties in this particular exchange

Based on my research and tests, under normal circumstances, we couldn't open others' messages unless we have any related permissions, so you could first check if you have any permissions of the sender in this "confidential email" or if you have a shared folder that may have these messages.

Also, based on my research, I have found a related thread that introduces this feature in detail, which also mentioned the conversation couldn't display others message or reveal privacy in this condition, for your reference: "You are not responding to the latest message in this conversation".

If you indeed don't any permissions of the sender, in order to further confirm if the issue is related to your mailbox server, we could also try to forward the message on web mail for testing, if the issue could be reproduced there, the issue may be related to your mailbox and it's suggested to contact your mailbox admin to get more help.

Hope that would be helpful to you.

I have the same issue happen in my tenant. External user sends an email to UserA and UserB. UserB and External user have a side email conversation. UserA replies to the original email and sees the "You are not responding to the latest message in this conversation. Click here to open it." pop up and clicks it - it opens the side conversation email that UserB and External user had in which UserA was not part of.

I don't know what's going on. There are no delegates or shared permissions assigned to either UserA or UserB. I'm not able to reproduce the issue as well. I'm totally stumped.
