SYNOPSIS:
Follow up to brief portions of a post
DESCRIPTION:
Is there a way to do large scale deletions in the editor? Often, there
will be a long post, and I will want to follow up, but my comments would
only relate to a small portion of the original post. If I "Include
Article," other readers have to reread lots of irrelevant things, or
I have to backspace forever. (If I backspace too long, I delete the header.)
If I cut and paste the relevant section, I don't get the
"In article xyzzy, opus (someone@somewhere) writes:" or the > to indicate
that I'm quoting someone else. Putting those in by hand is a pain.
REPEAT BY:
[what you did to get the error]
SAMPLE FIX:
[preferred, but not necessary. Please send context diffs (diff -c -
Command to click-drag-release to mark a section, and then another
to delete it.
