Outlook: Improved handling of disallowed and failed email reactions

Originally posted by Microsoft Mar 24, 2026 Uncategorized 0 Comments

Emails with reactions disallowed will now see the Reactions button grayed out correctly. Additionally, when any attempt to react fails, the local update will no longer remain onscreen and be properly undone.
