  The issue is to drop a confusing and superflouis addition. 
  
  There is absolutely no necessity at all to have a separate key (F4) for 
replying with quote. 
  
  The software can detect by itself if text is selected (highlighted) and quote 
that.

  I don't understand what you want. Overloaded baroque software with 10 
different ways to do the same thing? 
  
  "KISS" is an old standing and tested design rule: Keep It Simple, Stupid. 
  
  After getting rid of the F4 for replying with quote, the context menus need 
to be cleaned up for unifying the actions selectable e.g. on a message etc. 
Those are too different in different context menus. Currently it is really a 
mess, IMHO.
