The problem with that is demonstrated by your example. The quoting is somewhat incorrect or at least misleading. The quote heading says "Todd ...", but the quote was actually something that Todd quoted. I do note that there is an extra level of quote markers, so someone could realize that, but it's not obvious and there's no indication who was being quoted. _
yes, that's right, I was only concerned about the reply-to-a-point issue.
The rub might lie in a missing capability to select multiple separate regions in some MUA: with ctrl-<left Mousebutton> I can do such selections easily on a web page in firefox, but not in Evolution and Claws Mail .. But maybe I simple missed the correct key combo for the MUAs ..
