First, as to the top vs bottom aspect of gmail, yes, gmail *does* start you out with the cursor above the quoted text. If I want to add text below the quoted text I press ctrl-End in Windows or some other (annoying to me) key combination for my MacBook. OK, this may be too much work for some people, but it's an option. Second, should you wish to, it is possible to selectively quote text in gmail. Go to the "Labs" tab on the Settings page and scroll to about the halfway point on that entire page to find an option called *Quote selected text* by a Ryan A. If you enable it then the text you select in a message is what is quoted when you reply to that message. Granted, I keep forgetting to use this now that I've enabled it. But if I do it's easy enough to "discard" the reply, go back and select text, and then reply again. Also, it's an experimental feature so I suppose you can't rely on it. Doesn't matter that much to me. If it stops working then I'll find a way to cope with the loss. Again, others may not have the necessary emotional resilience. -irrational john --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
