Just to be sure that I'm getting the obvious meaning of "quote-before"... With Mail.app, when I reply to a message, I get a cursor prompt at the top of the page. If I just followed this prompt, my response would be the first element in the message, not the quoted material from the previous message. "Quote-before" implies the text copied from the previous message, no? So I must be confused abut the language here? This message is being written as Mail.app automatically prompted me.
