Hi Gordon,
I attempted to duplicate the issue as you outlined below and Mail
stayed in Word mode for me. I'm not disputing what you say but its
extremely odd that I cannot get VO to behave as you do. Possibly a
way around this for you may be to do as follows:
1. In Mail Preferences, under the Composing tab, tell Mail not to
quote the text from the original message. Then there will be no
editing to do.
2. If you like having some of the message there, let's say for QA
purposes when answering questions in posts, you could copy the
desired text before pressing cmd+r to reply then pasting it into your
reply area.
It may behave the same as usual for you but its an option to try.
Later...

Hi. A while ago, I reported to the list an issue whereby VO is
veverting to character echo when I reply to mail. I have just
stumbled upon a way to force this to happen. When you go to reply
to a message, before writing any text, if you scroll down the
message, (as I always have), and then delete any unwanted text,
then move back to the top of the message and insert your reply, VO
goes into character echo. If you write your reply before actually
deleting anything below it, in other words, read it first, then
reply, then delete unwanted text, VO works in word echo mode as it
should. This must be a bug.
