Presently if you wish to quote only a portion of your reply in a message, you have to select it and press F4. Otherwise, you must press Ctrl + F5. And of course there's the Shift + Ctrl + F5 possibility. I find these keys counter intuitive, and difficult to remember and keep straight. (Yes, I know, that's my problem and others may feel differently, especially after years of doing things this way. However...)
Wouldn't the key assignment make more sense along these lines? F4 - Reply quoting all, unless something is selected in the message. In that case, quote only the selected portion. Ctrl + F4 reply without quoting anything. (Thus usable to send a new message on a different topic to someone you've just received a message from.) If there are multiple addressees (different From and Reply To fields, Multiple To's or CCs), pop up a dialogue providing appropriate options. -- Best, M-K Using The Bat! v2.12.00 on Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 A - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Leave her alone or I'll shoot you right between the shoulders." -- Ronald Reagan, Des Moines, Iowa, 1933, while rescuing 22-year-old nursing student Melba King from a mugger by threatening him with an empty .45 pistol. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.1 Beta/1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
