Yes, that appears to be the standard.

I was told some time ago that "mice" are animals, whereas "mouses" are
computer equipment. CMIIW.

So what you want to do is highlight some text, then click on an email
address at another location within the text, and have the highlighted
text appear as quotes. The idea (if I understand you correctly) is not
bad, but it is not what is the common standard among email clients. I
think there is no reason not to include it in the wish list, though.
Why not let TB the first email client to do it this way? ;-)
