But I still would like to point out that this may also be an example of something else. Choices of this kind are always a tradeoff. Great as Gnus is I don't think it is perfect, or else I'd use it :-) So, how bad are the problems with Gnus, and how bad are the problems with the others? The missing feature you mention doesn't strike _me_ as a particularly serious problem. After all, you have to select the region first, so it's about the same amount of work as deleting the unwanted material in the reply. So if this were the _only_ problem with MUA X, it would not make me drop it and use Gnus. But YMMV! -- Please *no* private copies of mailing list or newsgroup messages.
