  • Quoting a message in a reply

    From Xir@VERT/TBTSHV to All on Monday, November 03, 2014 15:13:55
    This is likely a stupid question, but I haven't found a solution yet. I'm using SlyEdit 1.40 and I'd like to know how to reply to a message and include a quote of the original message text in my reply. Anyone wanna point me in the right direction?

    IIRC, at the bottom of the screen is a help line... i believe that it shows that you can use CTRL-Q or a slash command to bring up the quote window...
    then you just arrow to the lines you want to quote and hit enter on them... once you have them, then hit CTRL-Q again to close the quote window and type your response... you can do the quote thing multiple times if desired...

    As you can see, you're right and I appreciate the both of you for pointing me in the right direction. How I missed that line at the bottom I have no idea.

    Thanks again.
