When you press Command-R to reply to a message, you'll see the original message in the text area, starting with, "On such and such a day, at such and such a time, so and so wrote:" To quote some of the contents of the message to which you are replying, highlight the parts you want to remove and press Delete to get rid of them. Type your contribution in the appropriate places. So, for instance, navigate past the when and from whom, then hold down the Shift key and use Option-Right Arrow to move word by word past the part you want to delete, and press Delete. Then start navigating without the Shift key until you are past the part you want to reply to, then type your reply. You can delete the rest of the earlier message by pressing Shift-Command-Down Arrow followed by Delete. I hope this makes sense.

Message quotes
Hello, In many of the messages I read on this list, there are replies with quotes that start with the originals senders name, followed by the word wrote, followed by a only a selection of the original text, and is often followed by the answer to their question. Are people manually typing the person's name followed by wrote, or is there a way to do this automatically? If there is a way to do this automatically, I ask that someone will explain how to do it.
