yes, in my client I highlight a point as I've done here then hit reply

The problem with that is demonstrated by your example. The quoting is somewhat incorrect or at least misleading. The quote heading says "Todd ...", but the quote was actually something that Todd quoted. I do note that there is an extra level of quote markers, so someone could realize that, but it's not obvious and there's no indication who was being quoted.
