Or like you, I shouldn't think. When replying to a long message I sometimes find that I want to reply to something I didn't expect to. Then I wish I had selected the whole message and deleted the irrelevant bits later. So what? Not everyone works like me either. No doubt Jerome and his team will listen to everyone's opinion (or at least those that aren't put off by a testy reaction) then decide which features are worth their time and effort. -- Frank Mitchell, Scottsdale, Arizona
