Oddity when replying.
Hello list, I'm trying to replay to a long e-mail and cut parts out, but when I hilight and hit DEL or BACKSPACE, it only deletes a couple of characters, rather than the whole selection. I can CTRL-X it gone, though. Any ideas on what I can check to figure out why this is happening?

Thanks I wouldn't mind any thoughts on this - I noted it this afternoon when I was trying to delete a quoted section (each line prefaced with ). Del only deleted the first quote (a couple of characters) no matter the size of the paragraph selected, but Ctrl-X or pressing Backspace repeatedly (yuck) did ...

If you go to Options | Editor Preferences and make sure the 'Persistent Blocks' option is unchecked and the 'Overwrite Blocks' option is checked Del will do what you expected it to do.
