But if I've deleted the message from KMail and go to the archive with the browser and use the reply link on the archive webpage, the message is not quoted. I did some Google'ing and this does appear to be a limitation of the mailto: link in HTML for any web site; mailto: just can't do that, I think. (I also noticed that the PlanetCCRMA archive doesn't have a reply link.) So it appears that cut/paste, manual quote is the only way. Thanks for the reply anyway, Marv
