Greg Strong may remember but that was the behaviour of Virtual Access, our good 
old VA. If you replied to a message and there was text highlighted that text 
would be quoted and, if there was no text
selected, then the whole message text would be quoted. And as far as I can 
recall, no one ever complained about that behaviour.

Why then have so many keyboard shortcuts, shift clicks, Ctrl+Shift
clicks and whatever? All is needed is a 'Reply' and a 'Reply to All'


This was one of VA's strengths. This should be the way The Bat! operates too - 
nice and simple ;-)

As you already state, why would you highlight part of a message if you were to 
quote all. Surely by selecting text you are making a statement of intent - I 
want to perform an action on this text.

One of the _many_ strengths in VA. It was certainly a great program for
many years, it's too bad development was stopped.

Oooops! Clicked Send before completing my reply.

Won't you add that as a supporting note to:

Just want to mention that I added my support to this wish--once more,
as I've been monitoring it--and also put another supporting note at
http://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=243
when I got an e-mail from that page (which I'm also monitoring) about
your link to page 2486 in regard to this wish.

I can't imagine why anyone would object to having quoting selected
text in a Reply be automatic behavior.
