A lot of other mail/news clients (e.g., Eudora, FirstClass, MacSoup etc) allows
me to select some text and then when I hit reply only the selected text is quoted.

Very useful if you reply to a mail that is top posted and/or hundreds of lines
with only a few lines relevant for the reply.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select one paragraph of a long mail
2. Click/select reply
3.

Actual Results:  
The whole original message is inlcuded as a quotation in the reply

Expected Results:  
Only included the selected paragraph as quotation
