BThere are pros and cons to this reply. The way to eliminate the unwanted text/e-mail (after hitting REPLY) is to put your cursor at the beginning of the unwanted text, hold the left button down and DRAG, highlighting it. Then click on Backspace and it will disappear, never to be seen again, unless you go to EDIT and Undo. But............sometimes people will only see the reply and not WHAT was originally posted, as I am guilty of. Changing the SUBJECT title would help a LOT I think. If you need anymore help on how to cut, copy and/or paste e-mail me privately.
