I thought it to be quite sensible and not daft of them.
This single user had a valid point and a point which could very well
be affecting other users like him.

Strange. :) You can quote only selected text with one key stroke.
Great! It was *really* irritating in those days when I couldn't do
it *at all*.

It becomes dangerous when an application starts thinking for the
user. I select the address, hit F4.
foo> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So if I write to this e-mail address......... etc.
As Miguel said, double-click the address. It's intuitive to do so.
If you're using the RTV, just click on the address as you click on
addresses everywhere else and a new message will appear with the
address in the To: field. This so called intelligent processing is
very assuming and dangerous. Not everyone thinks and approaches
their work the way you do.

Because it's different. Because it's better?

Because you can already *easily* do what it is you want to.
