After waiting an eternity for the Lightning calendar project to release a 1.0, I gave up and upgraded to Thunderbird 3 and Lightning 0.9. I wish I would have earlier as both are big steps forward. I just discovered a neat trick in Thunderbird when replying to a message. By default, Thunderbird quotes the entire message and deposits your cursor either above or below the quoted text based upon your preference:
However, if you first select an arbitrary amount of text, your reply will only quote that text.
If you’re like me and you carefully whittle down your email responses to only include the relevant text, this is a neat shortcut that requires just a quick drag of the mouse and your response is immediately ready for you to start typing.
Nice job Mozilla! Here is the documentation on their site which I found after I stumbled upon the feature.
