Nice tip!  Also works in Thunderbird.
It also used to work in the Gmail web interface, as an experimental
(Labs) feature. Sadly, it was removed several years ago so users are
stuck with the bone-headed Microsoft nonsense of top-posting with a
full inclusion of every reply to reply to reply ... unless they
laboriously edit by hand.
Thankyou Mike and Patrick, I wasn't aware that in Thunderbird highlighting the text in the mail only included that text in the reply, hence I'm probably one of the people being complained about, although having said that I also get annoyed if I have to read through multiple mail threads to get the full context of what the reply is addressing, and in my view it is bad mail etiquette to not include that context (I'm not trying to start a flame war, it is just a personal opinion and it is obvious from these complaints that other people disagree).

Just on the etiquette front, every organisation I have worked in consider it bad email etiquette to not top post replies, so what are the reasons for this mail list to be averse to that methodology (just curious).

regards,
Steve
