So I tried it. It does not address this issue. It simply opens a reply
window with all the original text already "selected" (ie select focus -
and highlighted). This is not much use. Dan's scenario was useful
though. *We* select a *bit* of text first, then hit 'Reply" and just
*that* text is in the reply window.
