I know that TB's discarding of everything below a cutline is a great
feature.  But what happens if I *don't* want that behavior to occur?

I haven't figured out a way to include a message with more than one
response.  For example:

I am following up on a software request to a developer.  I am selecting
the last message I sent, using Reply All and deleting my own address
from From.  I want to quote my last reply as well as the developer's
message that I had replied to.

But there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do that with TB. I've tried
regular Reply and selective Reply (F4) but both methods remove the
developer's message as it falls below the cutline in my signature. (yes,
they are using top-posting and not removing signature/cutlines... shame
on them..  yadda yadda..)

Even if someone else is doing it "wrong" this behavior seems a bit
count-intuitive to highlight a block of text, press F4, and only have
half of what I've highlighted show up in the reply.  It's like The Bat
is enforcing its own belief about cutlines no matter what I do!

Forwarding the message does not work, as the format and quoting isn't
what I want for a reply.  My current work-around is to reply (which only
gets the topmost post), then go back and forward the message, copying
the second message down (developer's message) and pasting it below what
the Reply grabbed.

Aside from a full-on crusade to get the rest of the world to follow
posting and cutline rules, is there a better way to do what I am
describing?
