In my previous mail, I quoted the entire text, so if there is such an option in gmail labs, it will be really "comfortable". All I need to do is click reply and begin typing. And if I need to trim, then I simply put the cursor here and hit Enter and it will trim. This is a small 'customization' which you shouldn't be opposing if you are such an avid Linux user. In labs, there are options like switching the chat to right side and even adding a "beta" to the Gmail logo. Remaining of your post is unnecessary. > If someone is not capable enough of trimmed posting > (excluding ignorant users) then he is not fit to call himself a Linux > user.

Why suddenly started another Linux vs Windows war? I just wished for a "comfortable" feature in Gmail and you are saying only Windows users want comfortable features and they are foolish.. What's wrong with being comfortable? I like to use Vim because I can "comfortably" do many tasks without taking hand from home row. Nothing personal dude.
