you will see that there are html quote pairs :{quote} and {/quote}
(I subbed { and } for [ and ] so as not to invoke the html interpreter) around the original message.
Within the original message may be other quote pairs.
YOu can edit or delete entire quote pairs or anything between associated quote pairs. Just make sure you don't unbalance the quote pairs i.e. each {quote} must have a matching {/quote}
I often delete most of the quote if I am replying to or commenting on a single statement just to put the reply in context.

I just copy the part of the quote that I want to use then paste it between the quote symbols.quote:I often delete most of the quote if I am replying to or commenting on a single statement just to put the reply in context.
