If I reply to an email, with the original text embedded, then that text can be edited. That's not normal surely? You shouldn't be able to change the text of an email that you've received, when you're replying to that email.

Hello

you can think what you want about what is normal or not, but it is working this way on every mail software I have seen (Outlook for example). A reply is a mail you send and you can send anything you want in it, the copy of the preceding mail is just a convenience done by the mail software. A great way to use it is to trim the part you are not replying to, if you agree with 95% of a 3 pages mail, you can just keep the contentious part, adding '...' to show that you edited the original text, and reply below it your comment. As the mail gods intended before Outlook messed up everything with their reply first dement policy.

Oh yes - brain freeze - I tested in other apps; now I've re-tested and you are right. You know that Home is where the heart is? Well on my new laptop Home is where the Delete should be! Sorry and thanks, Phil.
