I haven't had this problem to deal with. 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. Of course, if I have to quote from
multiple messages then I have no choice but that's unusual.

Sounds great except for the part about the cursor being positioned two
lines below. That's a user specific need and a pre-emptive one.

While composing ... no. When reading mail, yes ... soon. The RTF viewer
that's still in beta (I think ... it's been so long ;-)) supports this.

Ok.

This would be good. I've wished for this but wonder how much it would
take to implement such a feature.

It makes for much easier reading for sure, especially in the context of
e-mail and having to read from a computer screen.
