The current implementation has history to it and surfaced in the wake
of a long, heated discussion about it. I was the one fighting for your
cause. The member (no longer with us) against our suggestion, made the
point that while using a client that supported what we want, he often
selected parts of messages for other purposes than for quoting and
would not, on many occasions, deselect the text. He would then hit
reply to see the address, url or some snippet he had copied and pasted
elsewhere, appear in his reply. A valid concern I'd say, though it
didn't really affect me with regards to how I work.

Anyway, Ritlabs implemented the feature, but in the way you have it,
as a compromise. You have to use a special command to quote only
selected text. No problem for me, as long as I can get TB! to do it. I
only wish it would also work when replying to all or when replying to
sender.
