I think it is, but in my opinion it is more readable than a answer that you post above the original message (called top quoting). > could someone explain how to do this or point me to a place where I > can read about it? I do not know a place where you can read about it, but I can explain what selective quoting is. You type a reaction below the text your responding to like I'm doing now. > When I select one part of a message to respond to, I hit F4 and can > write a reply, but the rest of the message disappears.

When you select a text and hit F4, The Bat! will only quote the selected text in the mail. The way that I'm responding to your message is just press answer and the whole text is quoted. Then I delete the parts of the text that are not important, and when I want to respond to a part of the text I just type my remarks below it and move the following text (of your original message down) When you receive some more messages from this list you will see what selective quoting means. It means just leave the text that your responding to in the message as a quote and type your response below it. -- Cheers, Edgar Communicating with TB! v2.01.3, Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 Murphy's First Law: Nothing is as easy as it looks.
