Not very quick, as I have just reminded myself, if you take the digest.
1) Block from the message header to the end of the part to which I wish
to reply.
2) [CTRL C]
3) Click on "Reply"; this sets To: and From: correctly.
4) Replace the Subject: contents with the message subject.
5) Delete up to the message author.
6) Replace from the space after the author's name to the beginning of
the quote with "wrote: [NL] [NL]"
7) Insert ">" at the beginning of each line of the message, with
deletions and additions of [NL] if necessary to eliminate short lines.
8) Add my reply.
On another mailing list that I take (indivisual posts), where nested
quotes are often used to excess, deletions are even more detailed.
