Thanks. I've done that before, and will probably use that again since it's faster than doing the Forward method I described. The problem is that the copied text is not clearly marked as a reply. Another method is to highlight everything after the first cut mark, copying and pasting that after hitting F4. By the way, it is not necessary to to deselect in your example above. Hitting F4 with nothing selected or hitting F4 with the entire message history (multiple replies) selected results in the same content in the editor. This is precisely what bugs me about The Bat's over-zealousness with regard to cut marks - it over-rules its own logic of selective reply. Convention and cut mark etiquette notwithstanding, if I purposely select text, then that text should be included in the reply when I hit F4. Period. Poor design, IMO. -- Ken Green Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.01.3 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
