OK, maybe I was mistaken about OE, but I'm pretty sure some earlier email version did allow both incremental quote increases and incremental quote decreases -- maybe Claris Emailer?? Anyway, I realize you can remove quotes altogether and then add one quote back by the method you suggest above, but if you're replying to a back-and-forth string that includes many paragraphs with differing quote levels that have been compounded to 4,5,6 levels, and you want to prune the text string and reduce the quotes down to 1,2,3 levels, after following your scenario above, you then have to recall what the original quote hierarchy was, and then, section-by-section, increase the quote levels one-at-a-time to get, say, what was previously 6 quote levels down to 3, what was 5 down to 2, what was 4 down to 1, and so on. Being able to select all and decrease quote levels one level at a time would make this quick and easy (i.e. as can be done now to increase quote levels), but failing that capability, if there were at least a keyboard shortcut available for the existing increase quote level function, that would be an improvement (in fact, keyboard shortcuts for all the Auto Text Cleanup functions would be useful, IMO). Just a wish for a future version enhancement.......
