Author Topic: select text to quote in reply (Read 6562 times)

Hi all,

I don't know whether this is technically feasible, but it would be very useful to be able to select part of a message, click on Reply, and have just this text inserted as quoted text in the edit window.

For an example of this in action, see Thunderbird.

Thank you.

Yep, it will be nice!

Hello,
I quickly coded a simple plugin to allow users to do what you need.

I think it can be improved (the selected text is passed between the two pages by saving it to the user preferences, I did not manage to pass it via the $_SESSION var). Maybe someone will find a better way to do it.

Hope it helps

Wow, that was quick; thanks.

Alas, enabling this plugin breaks something; I am seeing this error in logs/error:

Code: [Select]

I am running v0.5.2. Let me know if I can supply any additional info.

My bad..

That fixed it. Thanks again. Works very well for non-HTML messages.

Yes, you may want some improvements, that was just to show that it is technically possible
