I usually either quote the entire message and delete the unwanted parts as I type (this is if I want more of the message quoted than not), or I select the smallest portion of the message I want and then hit F4. I then trim the rest as I type. I find backing and forthing from window to window to transfer clippings to be more tedious.

G That's not a problem: The quote is always inserted in the upper G editor window, meaning the one that was used most recently.

This is why specialist editors have macro recorders and not built in automatic sequences as you describe. G And the initials in front of the quote sign should be the initials of G the sender of the message I am quoting from, not always the ones of G the message I am replying to. TB! can tell which initials to use depending on which message is being replied to. However, how is it to tell the source of text from anywhere else? The only compromise there would be to do as I do. Create a Quick Template containing the single macro '%Quoteclipboard'. If you wish to quote material and not associate the sender initials with it, then copy the text block to the clipboard and invoke the QT. The text will be quoted without initials. G Is anybody here using this Auto-format option? How do people manage G do make paragraphs with that, I don't get it?
