How to Quote Just Part of a Message in Replying
 
This is my first day trying out The Bat.  I just tried to reply to a message.  The first thing I had to do was get rid of those pre-formatted parts of the reply.  Having successfully done that, I then tried to figure out how to quote only part of a message that I'm replying to.  In both Mulberry and Pegasus, all I have to do is select the part of the message that I want to quote and hit reply.  Alas, that didn't work in The Bat.  In fact, I couldn't figure out any quick way to do this.  Is this really not possible in The Bat, short of either cutting and pasting or going through the message and deleting all the passages I don't want to quote?
 
Reply quoting selected text: F4

There's very little The Bat can't do. ;-)

You also have to have
%QUOTES

In the reply template - Account - Properties or F4 won't work
 
Thanks very much, Marck and Dave.  F4 was exactly what I needed to know.  I'd been told that The Bat was very feature rich, and so far that's what I've found.  Now if only I can figure out how to get it to play nicely with my IMAP folders, I'd be good to go.  But thus far, I haven't been able to figure out either how to get it to list my folders in alphabetical order (as Mulberry, Pegasus, Thunderbird, and even Pine do), nor how to get The Bat NOT to show folders that aren't supposed to be there (temporary folders created by my procmail filters).
