MAL> I am not very familiar with the concept of selective uoting in MAL> replies as I am used to just posting reply at top of message. That can cause a problem where your reply addresses more than one issue from within an original message. It would also prohibit anyone in a group discussion from commenting further once replies become disassociated from an original statement or question. MAL> It seems like a very awkward process. Not once you get used to it. In fact, it is a much more natural process, since it better approximates a conversational form. MAL> ... could someone explain how to do this or point me to a place MAL> where I can read about it? You can read about it in this very reply :-). It's how I am replying to you.

(unless I only want to comment on a single issue), MAL> Is the answer simply cursoring through the message and leaving MAL> a blank line between the quotes and my response? Yes. And it works very well indeed. NB: Please do not be tempted to reply with a top post - not even for a "thank you".
