Description
Hi,
a very useful feature (mostly for mailinglists) would be if there is something selected in the message view when the reply/forward action is activated to get only the selected text quoted. Just like Icedove/Thunderbird dose it (have a look at it). Please implement this.
Thanks

Research direction
Start by locating the Android message-view entry points for reply and forward, then inspect how the current compose flow builds quoted content. Compare the expected behavior with Icedove/Thunderbird and test both reply and forward when text is selected and when it is not. Done means only the selected message text is quoted when a selection exists.
