Try to adapt to a better standard, I say. But why not stop using the mouse, select text with shift+arrowkeys or shift+ctrl+arrowkeys (for word selection), then pressing shift+del (for cut) or ctrl+ins (for copy), moving to the place where you want to insert the new (quoted text) and pressing alt+ins. If you just want to quote a couple of lines, quickly mark text, press ctrl+ins and then alt+ins. Can't be quicker than that? If you wanted to right-click, the context menus would not be available, which in my opinion often can be a great help. I would not like to see this feature in The Bat. > Leaving all the original text whether before or after is terrible in > my view and a total waste. Standard netiquette is what you are asking for.

Dave, why not just read the topic list, pane number two in the lower left corner of your preview area. That should make it somewhat easier to find out whether the digest contains important information or just be archived/deleted.
