we can but why? i'm reading a message; i hit the reply button; i select the lines i want to quote, hit enter, and then i'm in my editor to write my reply... i'm doing this all online to my BBS... why would i want to do all that copying and pasting back and forth?
if i'm reading using my point setup with golded, same thing... why do all that when i have the tools at hand already? ;)
