How to remove [External:] from subjects coming in - Office 365
https://www.slipstick.com/outlook/rules/outlooks-rules-and-alerts-run-a-script/
The macros at technilee are not run a script rules - they are automatic when you reply or send/receive by the looks of it.
You need to use Redemption to clean up the conversation view.
This macro will remove the keyword from the conversation and subject - as written, it is run manually on the selection. It could be converted to a run a script rule.

Thanks but i cant get them to work. When i hit F5 and run the code you provided seems fine. It just dont do anything for my inbox it seems. If i where to run redemption, what variant of redemption would i run? RedemptionLoader? Only one that seems free.
Assuming first message to me gets cleaned up i would be happy from there. As all replys back to me would get cleaned up as well. If technicle`s code is possible to make work please help us do that. Old email does not matter, just anything coming in and out in the future.Edit: this code works, but you have to start it every time manually.

And it is very difficult to add anything to it.
- The superuser one looks like technilee's - it is an automatic macro. It goes in thisoutlooksession or a separate class module, you restart outlook and it runs when you reply.
You need the developer version of redemption. It installs both 32 and 64 bit and outlook knows which to use.
My macro (at slipstick) is a manual macro - you select the message and run it. When I tried a macro that worked with rules it didn't remove the prefix. I tried an itemadd macro (runs when new items added to inbox) - that seems to work most of the time, but it doesn't always get the conversation cleaned up. My manual macro sometimes missed the conversation too.
