I just discovered a neat little feature of MS Entourage ... if you select text and then hit reply, the only part that's quoted is the area you selected. That's particularly useful when replying to forwarded e-mails where there's lots of junk at the bottom.

Yes, it's useful...
and I have been using it in Entourage/Outlook basically from day one.
Yes, it's useful...
... and, like many of us, I guess I didn't think to report it because I'm used to it. That feature has been in Eudora for more years than I can remember.
Yes, it's useful...
Ok, but can we turn the blasted "feature" off? In Eudora and all the other clients, it's a choice. I find I often copy some text to use elsewhere, come back, hit reply and all I have is a snippet -- often the snippet least likely to be of use in my reply.
Always been there
This feature has existed in every single email client I've ever used. I didn't realize it was actually a secret to people.
It's not 'macosxsecrets.com' :-)
It's a hints site, not a secrets site. When in doubt, I'll almost always err on the side of publishing what some (even most) may consider obvious. There's always the potential that somebody didn't know about something. |
