I quote partial meassages- I either delete the unnecessary text or add then end-of-quote command when breaking up th text, though this takesz more time as I have to add start-of-quote commands too. For working offline, why not copy the part of the quote, paste it and italicise it? I do that when using quick reply. (Have I understood you right?) |

If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll see if I can think of something else.
BTW, do you use the keyboard shortcuts for copying, highlighting, pasting, etc? |

Jesus, I'm afraid I'll have to give up. Unless smb gives a simplest step-by-step instruction as if I were a 10 year-old child. 
I don't know what keyboard shortcuts I am supposed to have. Never mind, it'd be ridiculous to have you teaching me computing.
I really appreciate your effort, tdol, tnx. |

Please, another question:
Is there any way I find an old post, say, the one I sent a week, a month ago or I even know the date?
Tnx. |

Tnx, Red5,
But sorry, I am still in the dark. I don't understand how I can find smth myself. Subscription might be the clue but I must confess I don't understand how to deal with it,  I've never subscribed to anything except newspapers or magazines.
Step-by-step approach is what I love best.  |

May I suggest you read through the Forum FAQ and see if this answers some of your questions. Regarding 'subscriptions', read this: http://www.usingenglish.com/forum/fa...l_notification
The link I gave you before can be accessed from your User Control Panel.
I'll do a step-by-step for you later. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
