Using the quote option

[sheltiegirl]

I can't quite get the use of the "quote" option right. Using the upper right quote tab brings up the entire item to be quoted. How do I: 1) get out of that box and into the space for my dialog, and 2) select certain parts that I want to comment on, if I don't want to reprint the entire message I am referring to?

Thank you!

Select and delete the parts you don't want. Type in your response after the unquote symbol (/quote in brackets). It is probably a good idea to use the preview button to check it before you send it.

(Note that you can't edit in the preview mode. If you spot an error there, you have to scroll down to your response message to make the change.)
