Guest guest Posted April 25, 2000 Report Share Posted April 25, 2000 I have tried this and it never works for me, either. When I highlight and then hit " Reply " , it copies the whole message, not just the highlighted part. What I have done (that works ok) is highlight the part of the message that I want to reply to and copy it, then hit " reply " , then delete the whole message and then " paste " to copy what I want to reply to, I then add my own " < and > " and write my reply. Hope this helps.
