Anyone know how to copy and paste without formatting into Outlook for Mac, without having to click the tiny dropdown box it creates when pasting formatted text? Outlook appears to …

I’d normally be inclined to agree except they went to the effort of getting my video evidence, which gives me hope this did actually end up getting fed back.
