I understand how the other external editors do it, especially if you're referring to Synchronet's msgeditor, and JSEditor. However, Slyedit is a javascript clone of the original IceEdit and DCTEdit external editors. Those work exactly like this.

I would rather select the text to quote manually so I can select exactly the quoted text I'm replying to, than have the entire thread quoted on startup and have to delete/remove a bunch of text that I'm not replying to. Especially when messages can become very long quoted messages with single line replies (I would just want to quote the single line). This is why I appreciate how SlyEdit quotes, and don't use the other ones.

Of course, it's all preference. Use whatever you like best!

Regards,
Nick
