Don't Reply to BCC emails
In You may have been BCCed warning, Outlook MVP Robert Sparnaaij shows us how we can see a warning when we are BCC'd on an email, so we don't hit Reply To All and embarrass ourselves. However, he didn't mention how we can leverage VBA event handlers as well. So we'll have to do so in this space.
Force Outlook Replies into the format of your choice
In Outlook Tip 434: Change Reply Format, Diane Poremsky writes:
Outlook does not offer a way to always use a specific format for all replies, be it RTF or HTML. You need to either change it on each message or write VBA macro to change the format.
That's what we're here for! OutlookCode has VBA to always reply in HTML format, but sometimes I like to roll my own. In this case, I wrote four different procedures that each do something slightly different.

To me, it seems like an organizational disease or culture problem when you have to resort to blocking the feature at the Exchange level.
