305549 - Reply button should quote only selected text

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 23394

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, enhancement)

Description

[Madhu Menon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Maxthon; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; FDM)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird/1.0.2

One of Eudora's great UI features is that when you select some text in a mail 
and press Reply, only that bit of text is quoted. This is very helpful in 
situations when someone has written a long email (or heaven help us, a top-
posted message) and you just want to reply to a small part of the mail. The 
best way to save time on this is to detect if any text has been selected, and 
if it has, only that text will be quoted in the reply.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
I have explained everything in the "details" part
