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.
