152861 - Enable block selection for Mail Composer Window

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Markus Gaugusch]

If the mail composer window supported block selection (like in visual studio,
Alt+Mouse selects a rectangular block), it would be easy to remove quotation
marks ("> > > > "). Maybe an option ("remove quotations") would be nice, too.
The search/replace function unfortunately doesn't support recursive removal of
text, which would also be a solution (replace "> " with "").
It is also a bit annoying that text cannot be replaced with empty string
(replace button is greyed out with no text in the "replace with" field. But I
can open a seperate bug if this can get fixed.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
