You know this Quote feature... Well, I was just thinking...

Is the following possible in Javascript?

You seletect text in the window, then you click a button and only the text you selected gets quoted in the post-reply window?

Has anyone seen or heard of this kind of feature? It can be done with your normal mail client, and I'm not sure, but I think it can be done with Hotmail too.

Would this be easy to do? I think this would be a great feature if it could.

The situation cropped up when I was trying to quote someone's signature, while of course, the signature doesn't get automaticaly included in the current quote feature.

This would be a great featrue for long messages, if this is at all possible?

Cheers

Cool

me too!

this would be nice to have since I'm too lazy to edit out all the other sentences that I'm trying to quote!

Just looked at Hotmail, and they don't have it.

In fact, I haven't seen a web application with this feature.

Maybe it's not possible? I'm no Javascript guru ...

It's possible selecting text and inserting that text into a new box with quote tags on the same page but I don't think you can select on one page and have it show up on the reply page.
