Did y'all know that there's a setting in mail that affects how you
handle quoting. You can set this to include the things you select in
the message reading pane, and if you don't select anything it includes
the whole msg. This opens for interesting posibilities, for example
you could interact with the message you're reading and then you vo
+arrow to the portion you want to include in your reply. Press vo
+return to start selecting and when done selecting what you want,
press vo+return again followed by cmd+r to reply and there, in the
reply, you have your selection. That's the way i do it when i do it
like that.

Hi Chelsea, Bill here. Group, if this has already been addressed,
please pardon me. However, Chelsea, once you've tabbed down to the
message in mail, interact with it by using vo + shift + down-arrow.
Use vo + down-arrow to move to the desired portion you wish to copy,
use vo + return to select, then use vo+ right-arrow to select each
word, when you've finished selecting, use vo+return again to stop
selecting, use command +c to copy to your clipboard what you have
just highlighted. Now enter the document to which you wish to copy
this highlighted text, and paste with command +v. Trust me, despite
how I might have made it sound, after a few times of doing it, it's
really quite simple. Take care.
Cheers: Bill

Hey all,
Is there a way to select text in mail? I have been just selecting
all, and pasting the contents of the message in to Text Edit, then
selecting the needed text that way. But there must be an easier way
that I'm not thinking of.
Thanks for your help,
Chelsea
