Say someone post long text and I like to clarify something in it, but it related only to one sentence. How I can quote just that sentence? I trying few things like quote everything and delete unnecessarily stuff or highlight what I want to quote and nothing seems to work.
Hi Serg - you can't, sorry, it's a sad limitation of the current design. Best approach it to manually copy what's relevant from their post, then paste into yours and maybe italicise it for emphasis. NB Don't use the common formatting keystrokes of Ctrl+I to italicise selected text, Ctrl+B to make it bold etc. The former for some reason creates a new email (!) and the latter simply doesn't work. Yeah, it's stupid. Tell me something I don't know LOL
