In Mail, how do you "reduce quotation"? All these funny lines (quite
good I guess, compared to the usual > as in OE but harder to
manipulate! As you can see, I made a mistake in above and it is not
obvious how to easily in one step correct it (don't ask how it
happened!)

In 10.2 and 10.3, select text, right click (or control click) on it
and
one of the options is to increase or decrease quote level.

Not on my Tiger....

This is in mail you are composing to send. You can not do this in mail
you have received.

I am composing right now. OK, it's not Beethoven, just a note to you and the boys (and I include the girls of course). So let me stop here and select the first sentence of this para and press the control. Nope, nothing about quote levels. (There is in the format menu up top). So no, not on my Tiger, Len.

But I can make the writing go backwards from the contextual menu... no
I can't, it misled me, is this an Apple lie?

I assume that this if for languages like Hebrew that read right to left.

Hebrew, Shrebrew... if it says the writing can go right to left then I expect to be able to make it go "werberhS ,werbeH" . But it does not do this at all! I say yes to Rich text, I select right to left and guess what it does? Something incredibly pathetic, weak as piss (to use a common Australian expression): it puts the phrase on the right side of the page. Same thing happens to actual typing new words, they simply start at the right of page, and move to the left as you type to make room for the latest keystroke at the far right edge. But they are just normal looking and right justified. Apple really have stuffed up bad eh? Admit it!
